There's no architect who doesn't want to build a library - and I am no different. With so much scrutiny now attached to reading - because of technology and how we approach it as a social activity - that is a very exciting area in architecture.
The secret of good architecture is having more than meets the eye.
All clients think that they are architects.
I was brought up to reuse things.
I never like things that don't look nice. It's really that simple.
I'm inspired by looking at art, by looking at precedent. Looking is what you have to do if you want to make things, so you develop a critical eye.
