Unique Place in My Career"
"If our future is to be one of hope, for ourselves
and for the world, we must engage today the responsibility
to nurture all of the available talent, and to support basic
research and innovation….
"We have work to do. If we engage,
and if we hurry, we can change the world."

"Academic
Leadership and the Role of Architecture Schools"
"It strikes me that no matter who you are, or why you
travel to New York, you cannot now come to this city without
feeling the presence of what is no longer here. It is rather
like what amputees describe when they "feel" a
phantom limb that has been removed….
"The world, as we are coming to know
it, is a new world now, with new parameters and new dimensions,
some of them emerging only slowly in the shadows of terrorism.
Among the targets of aggression is, perhaps, modernity itself
- its commerce, its comforts, its technological competencies,
its safety, its robust health."
-- Keynote Address, 2001 Administrative
Conference; Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture,
New York, N.Y. (11/16/01)
