"How do you design it so that people can form a space of their own, and feel quiet and contemplative?" ― Michael Arad Topic(s): Design More From Michael Arad "I built a series of supporters that had my back. I never abused that trust. You can’t cry wolf. You have to solve most problems yourself." "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." "When I started this project, I was a young architect. I was very apprehensive about any changes to the design. Whether I wanted to or not, I learned that you can accept some changes to its form without compromising its intent. But it’s a leap of faith that I didn’t want to make initially – to put it mildly."

I walk the rehearsal as the camera and say ‘this is where I want to be… I want this look."― Debbie Allen "The United States government first learned of the diversion of the W-88 nuclear warhead design in late 1995."― Charles Foster Bass "Opera, next to Gothic architecture, is one of the strangest inventions of Western man. It could not have been foreseen by any logical process."― Kenneth Clark
