The spirit of adventure to embrace the new and the incredible belief in the power of invention attracted me to the Russian avant-garde.

My work first engaged with the early russian avant-garde; the paintings of moholy-nagy, el lissitzky's 'prouns' and naum gabo's sculptures, but in particular with the work of kasimir malevitch - he was an early influence for me as a representative of the modern avant-garde intersection between art and design.

There are so many great galleries and museums in London, but they can be very crowded during the day.

The current state of architecture and design requires extensive collaboration and an investigative attitude and we continue to research and develop new technologies.

It's not my duty as an architect to look at it.

I don't particularly like showing furniture on pedestals, but for whatever reasons you always have to in museums.
