sorry, for the bad quality, just an illegal mobile-shoot in a museum - here the text:
architecture and war are not incompatible.
architecture is war. war is architecture.
i am at war with my time, with history, with all authority that resides in fixed and frightended forms.
i am one of millions who do not fit in, who have no home, no family, no doctrine, no firm place to call my own, no known beginning or end, no sacred and primordial site.
i declare war on all icons and finalities, on all histories that would chain me with my own falseness, my own pitiful fears.
i am an architect, a constructor of worlds, a sensualist who worships the flesh, the melody, a silhouette against the darkening sky.
i cannot know your name. nor can you know mine.
tomorrow we begin together the construction of a city.
