How do you design it so that people can form a space of their own, and feel quiet and contemplative? – Michael Arad
I really appreciate artists of the 20th century, and I can see a lot of their influence on my work, but to suggest that my design only fits within an ism kind of bothers me. – Michael Arad
For two years nobody talked about anything other than the name arrangement. There was no fund-raising and no progress being made on construction and design. – Michael Arad
I built a series of supporters that had my back. I never abused that trust. You cant cry wolf. You have to solve most problems yourself. – Michael Arad
Thats a hobby of mine – to do whatever I can for unusual for-hire creative projects. I am waiting for someone to really challenge me – obviously Im often approached to do film related work, but I would be very happy to design a bar or an amusement park ride. I would love to be an imagineer! – Roman Coppola
