Every time I've flown an aircraft, or visited a steelworks, or watched a panel-beater at work, I've learned something new that can be applied to buildings.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love working out how things are made, which is why I have so many models of towers.
Of course, I have given my engineers some headaches over the years, but they go with me. I have always wanted my buildings to be as light as possible, to touch the ground gently, to swoop and soar, and to surprise.
I always think of buildings in their settings, but so do other architects.
We are creating a unique experience. It's starts with how you see the building from a distance.
I love buildings that aren't purpose-built.
I have often wondered what it is an old building can do to you when you happen to know a little about things that went on long ago in that building.
I see my buildings as pieces of cities, and in my designs I try to make them into responsible and contributing citizens.
Architects have to become more aware of exactly what is involved in designing barrier-free buildings and homes.
