What is there in common between all my works? What meaning can be given at present to my architecture? It is undoubtedly a desire to organise space. To return to the madness of the origins, to the longing for the inherited space of childhood, to the anxiety of claustrophobia. It has been necessary to control, structure and give shape to this appetite. Learning from the perception, observation and géométrisatiion of nature, a historical path: I discovered that in order to overcome the initial impetus, I had to acquire the control of a real language."
