'in the 1990s I saw quite a lot of césar, especially on holiday. he was preoccupied with the very nature of his work
and we would spend whole evenings discussing the conflict between hand and head. what distinguishes his
approach is that he always worked in several different directions at the same time, on things that could sometimes
be very contradictory.' - jean nouvel
