“我得到过的最好建议”精选集

    我在柯柏联盟学院（Cooper Union school）的第一年是打基础的一年。那以后，你可以成为一名艺术家，也可以成为一名建筑师。我记得，当时我和母亲坐在纽约布朗克斯区的住宅区里说：“我觉得我不想成为一名建筑师。我要搞艺术，因为它更享受。她在一间血汗工厂里工作。她告诉我：“如果你当一名艺术家，将来就会过苦日子。你应当做一名建筑师，你可以成为建筑界的艺术家，但你不能成为艺术界的建筑师。”

Master plan architect for reconstruction of World Trade Center site

    My first year at the Cooper Union school in New York was a foundational year. After that, you can either be an artist or an architect. I remember sitting with my mother in the Bronx in our housing complex and saying, "I don't think I'm going to do architecture. I'm going to do art because it's more enjoyable." She worked in the sweatshops. She said to me, "If you're going to be an artist, you're going to be poor. You should be an architect because you can always be an artist in architecture, but you cannot be an architect in art."
