Architecture is measured against the past; you build in the future, and you try to imagine the future.

Architecture is always political.

Architecture is a living thing. If I want to leave something to the future, it has to be able to change - but retain something of the ethos that we built up over 50 years.

Architecture is about public space held by buildings.

My architecture tends to be legible, light and flexible. You can read it. You look at a building, and you can see how it is constructed. I put the structure outside.

Architects are not clients. We can't build without something to built.
