My job as a designer is to look into the future. Not to use any frame of reference that exists

I'd love to be approached to do ordinary things more.

And where I grew up in Australia, surfing was a part of culture.

People kind of tend to mystify design and architecture by suggesting you need to train.

I never buy magazines, I never even buy books.

Doing anything in Japan as a sort of architecture - related project is just fantastic because they do everything so perfectly and so quickly. It's unlike anywhere else in the world.

You know like it has its own personality, its own character.
