00:08 - Paris, Tokyo, Berlin, mega cities,
00:12 old towns and new districts.
00:15 New York, Mumbai, Milan.
00:17 Houses, villas, palaces, swimming pools.
00:22 Where do today's great architects live?
00:26 Those who change the look of our cities,
00:28 draw new horizons, transform contemporary landscapes.
00:32 Where do they feel at home
00:35 and how do they inhabit their own space?

00:40 - Now when you live in the Bronx,
00:46 people think Bronx is the center of the world.
00:48 When you live in Tel Aviv,
00:49 people say Tel Aviv is the center of the world.
00:50 When you live in Milan,
00:52 people say this is the center of the world.
00:53 When you live anywhere in the world,
00:55 people, wherever they live, it is the center of the world.
00:57 The reason I think living is very important
00:59 is because apart from it being very important as shelter,
01:04 you should have the minimal existence.
01:07 You should have shelter.
01:08 It should also make people feel better.

02:17 - House is a private place,
02:19 but at the same time, I think as communal animals,
02:23 the house is not innocent in terms of,
02:26 it's not only just about going and sleeping
02:28 and having a fridge.
02:31 So all of us, I think,
02:35 see our house as a frontier between our private comfort
02:41 and the first step of where we meet people.
02:45 (upbeat music)
02:47 This house is, this whole property is actually rented.
02:52 So we moved here now, I think it is 17 years ago.
02:55 The house, in a sense, I've learned
02:58 about living in a house by living in this house.
03:01 But it's not a bit, it's not a joy house.
03:05 I think it's a collection of many people
03:07 who participate like yourselves.
03:09 I'm just one of the many, you know, not the only.

03:37 - The architects I really respect.
04:00 (speaking in foreign language)
04:03 They kept designing the house until they die.
04:07 That's my hope.
