Fuksas has asked himself for 60 years why he does as he does in architecture. He explains his work as doing something like light does to the sculpture which is a city block. Light destroys flattens form and makes is more spiritual, a chaos sublime.

To demonstrate how he designs he asked for a sheet of paper from someone in the audience, walked over to the wall sconces and bent the page in various ways to show how the light changes the object. He is interested in not adding but taking away, simplifying, playing with planes.
