My Abu Dhabi adventure
UK Guardian, "theblogart&architecture"
I've just turned 78 and am about to design the biggest Guggenheim yet. Can I pull it off?
I'm fine, by the way, but I'm not getting any younger, and I don't want to hang a kind of creative albatross around the neck of my team; I don't want them stuck with a legacy they feel they have to follow. I like experimenting; I want them to.
It's going to take four years to build, so I'll be 82 by the time we're through - it better be good! It's going to be nothing like the new Moma in New York, by the way; that's like a big, shiny department store.
Suggestion for "My Brooklyn adventure":
I've just turned 78 and am about to design the densest residential community ever. Can I pull it off?
It's going to take twenty years to build, so I'll be, like, 98 by the time we're through - it better be good! It's going to be nothing like MetroTech in Downtown Brooklyn, by the way; that's like a gigantic, souless, highrise mall.
