- Inside
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not really interested in creating things to be seen inside a private gallery. I'm interested in creating things that are all around us, that engage us. I just find the things that I respond to are useful.
- Little
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was little, I just was very tuned in to the functionality and aesthetics of things around me.
- British
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm wary of the word 'inventing,' because in the British psyche the word 'inventor' is immediately linked with 'mad'. For me, inventing is problem-solving.
- Ego
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Clearly I've got an ego.
- Ideas
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
An interest in ideas is a sign of human life. People are fascinated by what the future is going to be - and the future is going to be an accumulation of ideas.
- Fascination
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At the root of everything I do is a fascination with ideas - what ideas are for, what jobs they do.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I studied at a time when buildings were sterile things, and their creators were hands-off people - super-intelligent people, but you felt they didn't love the stuff buildings are made from.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't feel I'm trying to make art. I'm trying to make interesting things. People can relate to that.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am finally getting the chance to build large structures and break preconceptions that my designs are just sculptures for people to be in. But my work always comes down to the human scale.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have a strong sense that every project is an invention, which is not a word I hear being used in architecture courses.
- Imagination
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a teenager, my father took me to the shows at the Architectural Association and to places like Milton Keynes back when it was first being built. But I couldn't find anything for me. There seemed to be despair at the possibility of the built environment possessing any imagination in the real world.
- Criticise
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's important for people who criticise architects - whether what they build is or isn't to your taste - to appreciate how they devote themselves and put everything into bringing a building into existence.
- City
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One great building does not make a great city.
- Bridge
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I heard of the 'garden bridge' idea, it seemed so clear and powerful, the notion of using nature to scale down an enormous piece of potentially wind-swept exposed link. That's what struck me - not treating the bridge just as a link, but as a place.
- City
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm in love with cities. I find them amazing, the quiet co-ordination of thousands of people, going about what we're trying to do, and that organism of the city nurturing human aspiration, and the actual city fabric itself being a special thing rather than just infrastructure.
- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You can make people feel valued or cared for by design alone. It's not purely about money. It's about how we choose to value human experience.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It gives me the creeps when I see a frame for a building going up and recognise the architect. You shouldn't know who a project is by.
- Care
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Historically, in the world of architecture, enormous amounts of care and energy have been lavished on things that are almost a cliched idea of culture.
- Human Nature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that human nature is scared of change and justifies it in all sort of ways.
- Nov 07, 2020
When you think about the worst places humans come into contact with, they are often our health environments.
- City
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The world of contemporary art has, in a way, exponentially expanded in the last couple of decades, and almost every major city in Europe and Asia and North America has fallen over themselves to have their own contemporary art museum.
- Focus
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The studio does projects all over the world, and in each place, we focus on trying to make a project specific to that place. We take a different perspective everywhere we work - our passion is public projects, wherever they are.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm very interested in buildings that have meaning for a particular place. I suppose it feels slightly rude to me if the imposed style that lands in a place is almost stronger than the place. For me it's about inventing a solution for each place; if people then want to know who did it, then great.
