As sustainability becomes more and more of a concern, we're going to see more plastics.

Before computers, you'd start designing using shapes of cubes. Now I can start with something like a handkerchief, an object that doesn't have strong inside and outside boundaries or much closed volume.

From Greg Lynn

Without a computer, every point on a structure has to be calculated with reference to everything else. But by using a PC, I can create complex curves that don't have radii or centers.

By supporting all the links in the building chain and giving them an easy, intuitive tool for sharing model-based project information, GTeam enhances workflows and improves communication from design through to fabrication and assembly.

From Greg Lynn

It's most satisfying to have an effect on the public realm - deep down I think it's what every architect wants to do.

From Greg Lynn

When my kids were toddlers, they had all these rotomolded plastic things. My life became surrounded by big, hollow plastic toys - from the scale of playhouses down to rocking horses, and everything in between - which we would then take to the secondhand store. But we'd get sentimentally attached and hate to see them go.

From Greg Lynn

I really like the pop culture materials of everyday life, but used in some way that elevates them to something you notice and care about.

From Greg Lynn

Plastics, as a material, are very nasty, but as an alternative to, let's say, a brick, which seems really natural, they start to look pretty good. They're very low energy to produce, very lightweight to transport and construct. That's why they're so popular.

From Greg Lynn

A very big percentage of small-scale construction is plastic. But it's some horrible beige plastic made to look like wood.

From Greg Lynn

With everything that I design, from a church to a plate to skyscraper to a spoon. I am always thinking about voluptuous volumes and spaces.
