The Beauty Of The Landscape - Where

From My First Days Studying Architecture At The Architectural Association, I Have Always Been Interested In The Concept Of Fragmentation And With Ideas Of Abstraction And Explosion, Where We Were De-constructing Ideas Of Repetitiveness And Mass Production.

It Was Such A Depressing Time. I Didn't Look Very Depressed, Maybe, But It Was Really Dire. I Made A Conscious Decision Not To Stop, But It Could Have Gone The Other Way.

People Say I Design Architectural Icons. If I Design A Building And It Becomes An Icon, That's Ok.
