«There is no truth in public space (...). Sometimes we carry out an after-the-fact adaptive service.»

«Should we protect our green areas from the start against walkers, dogs, etc.? 
A good method would be to never carry out a project to ‘completion’ and to instead set aside some money 
to return to the project afterwards and adapt it if necessary. 
A good project is a project where one is allowed the possibility of continuing. A good project is long-lasting. 
If a project is not accepted by the population, it changes.»
