David Chipperfield said : “Behind this fantastic facade is a much more jumbled building, and the building has been modified over time, for practical and technical reasons,” “And through those modifications it has lost some of its character integrity, some of its history. Really, the challenge is to sort it out a bit, tidy it up and get it back into a better shape”

David Chipperfield said : “I think if anybody is not totally convinced of the need for the building then they may think it’s too big, but the size of the building is determined by what is necessary for a Nobel Center. It’s not exploiting the value of the land or something – it’s not a developer building, an office building or a hotel. I disagree with the criticism but I respect the fact that is it part of the dialogue,”

David Chipperfield said ( about Swedish ) : “Sweden has a very healthy social democracy, and there is great concern that people's opinions count and everybody is very uncomfortable if there’s any dissent at all. The whole of Swedish society is built on a very sympathetic consensual social democratic structure, which I absolutely admire. Of course, that makes daily life very nice and rich. It makes extraordinary moments, where you have to do something which is bound to upset somebody, more difficult”
