Cesar Pelli

“Architecture adds dimensions to my life that would be impossible to acquire if I retired. The beautiful thing about architecture is that every project is brand new. I am forced to renew myself with every project. Isn't that wonderful?”

“When I started designing in school, I discovered that I had a knack for it. I fell completely in love with architecture, and I remain in love with it.”

“I always look forward to the next project. That is one of the wonderful things about architecture - you always can hope for another project to design.”

“I realize that having a style would be very beneficial for my practice from a marketing standpoint, but I can't do it. I believe my responsibilities as an architect are to design the most appropriate building for the place. Each place has a distinct culture and function, which for me requires an appropriate answer.”

“We are very proud of our design for the Transbay Transit Center. This will be a beautiful, functional and sustainable building for San Francisco.”
