after his lecture in milan, designboom met with french architect francois roche.
the full interview is now online.


looking at the past. looking at the past, form the future;
I'm afraid of that. because the past defines the future,
the future cannot be. so we have to avoid that. the 'future'
is a vintage notion. the 'future' is like when you say modern,
modern is a period and 'future' is a period. just remember
that the 'future' has been designed in the sixties. so when
you talk about the 'future', it's the sixties. so we have to
create a new word to define the future, because you cannot
be modern now, you cannot use the 'future' as a key to
develop and define the future.
