1 00:00:04,537 --> 00:00:11,111 Our architecture is too humble; it should be prouder - more aggressive. Much richer and 2 00:00:11,211 --> 00:00:25,792 larger than we see today. I would like to do my part in expanding that richness. 3 00:00:25,892 --> 00:00:28,495 I was only 19 when my father died. 4 00:00:28,595 --> 00:00:32,732 I never really came to terms with who he was; 5 00:00:32,832 --> 00:00:35,668 what his work meant. 6 00:00:35,769 --> 00:00:38,905 Now it's a great joy to come back and 7 00:00:39,005 --> 00:00:42,041 understand what he did and how he did it. 8 00:00:42,142 --> 00:00:47,814 It's kind of a magical mystery tour for me. One finds that many different shapes are 9 00:00:47,914 --> 00:00:54,954 equally logical: some exciting; someearthbound; some soaring. 10 00:00:55,054 --> 00:01:00,393 The choices really become a sculptor's choices. 11 00:01:00,493 --> 00:01:07,400 It's literally perched on these cornersjust like the arch or just like 12 00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:13,740 everything else he does it's a magic trick. I kind of looked at it, and I said to 13 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,210 myself you know if I were a veterinarian 14 00:01:17,310 --> 00:01:21,748 I wouldn't know how to treat this animal because it's not a horse but it's 15 00:01:21,848 --> 00:01:26,786 not a camel. Do I treat it like a horse or do I treat it like a camel? You know you 16 00:01:26,886 --> 00:01:34,260 scratch your head a little bit - cool ideabut how does the roof stay up? 17 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,699 Work was the most important thing for him. 18 00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:43,870 I always resented my father for 19 00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:43,870 literally abandoning my mother, my sister 20 00:01:43,970 --> 00:01:50,109 and me, but I never saw it from his point of view. Closure was something I didn't 21 00:01:50,210 --> 00:01:56,483 have with my dad, but I forgive him for his genius. You know, how can you not forgive 22 00:01:56,583 --> 00:02:09,062 somebody for being a genius?
