I believe that Silicon Valley is truly a place of excellence and the impact of this tiny community on the world is completely disproportionate to its size.

I believe the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction presents the greatest threat that the world has ever known.

So I think that is perhaps the greatest threat that any of us will face in the coming years.

All of those things would give you pause to worry about the future.

I cannot pursue my architecture without considering the minimization of energy consumption, simple and direct technologies, a respect for site, climate, place and culture.
