“The main ingredient of my work is freedom. To plan a project, I need three kinds of freedom: the freedom my client allows me, the freedom the authorities give me and that which I give myself. Working in Africa gave me the benefit of all three kinds of freedom, making me fully responsible for the merits (and demerits) of my work. Another must-have component is respect: respect for those who will utilize my architecture. Respect keeps me from taking too much advantage of my freedom. ” Fabrizio Carola
