It turned out wonderfully well, except for some conversations from art critics and others in the city. It was not as well received as we would've liked. This was a moment in time when design – when Frank Gehry was designing buildings and people were doing all kinds of things. Postmodernism was strong. But I was determined not to let the spaceship land in the park.

Because I knew also that they mayor would hate it. So this was a wonderful thing that we chose something that was sympathetic to the surroundings. It's interesting enough, now with the benefit of hindsight, that is a very well regarded building nowadays, and people love it and people write about it.
