You cannot separate the buildings out from the infrastructure of cites and the mobility of transit.

It takes a lot of effort to make a building look effortless.

I'm not a creature of habit. I like to find things from unexpected sources.

I tend to move between turtlenecks and shirts and ties. I don't really have a uniform in the sense that some people might.

There's a snobbery at work in architecture. The subject is too often treated as a fine art, delicately wrapped in mumbo-jumbo. In reality, it's an all-embracing discipline taking in science, art, maths, engineering, climate, nature, politics, economics.

I am always surprised by how much little emphasis schools of architecture, and indeed, many architects, place on the process of the mating of a building.

I would never wear anything with a logo. That I really find difficult. It's a frustration that I'll find a nice shirt or something and it's got 50 prints of the logo on it - why do they do this?
