“…the artist has become the exemplary worker in conditions of late capitalism. The artist has become the exemplary worker and the worker is meant to be an artist, so to be a worker it’s not enough to just turn up at work and do your job: you have to be creative, you have to be innovative, you have to be flexible, you have to be constantly available. So, if you like, the new model of the worker is a model drawn from the artist, and that means that you can turn up at work wearing your Ramones t-shirt or listening to Radiohead on your iPod and you don’t have to shave or anything and you can be completely bohemian and say that you hate capitalism or whatever, but you’re still a good worker, and in fact you’re the best worker. There’s a sense in which the artist has become the paradigm fo work and I want to think about that a little bit to try and recover some discourses around work. There’s a rich history of discourse around work, which we need to go back to.”

“Older and less planned quarters of cities and towns are profoundly woodlike, and especially in this matter of the mode of their passage through us, the way they unreel, disorientate, open, close, surprise, please. The stupidest mistake of all the many stupid mistakes of twentieth-century architecture has been to forget this ancient model in the more grandiose town-planning. Geometric, linear cities make geometric, linear people; wood cities make human beings.”

“We have almost no connection to nature, the cycles of nature, and the environment. We have to rediscover the importance of a building’s connection to site and climate.”

“There is a danger when every building has to look spectacular, to look like it is changing the world. I don’t care how a building looks if it means something, not to architects, but to the people who use it.”
