Episode 27 | 10 June 2024


"I've always been very interested in materials and how we use them, and then thinking about, as an architect, it's a bit like a fashion designer – we have material, or fabric, and we are trying to sculpt it and make it in ways that it will be expressive, and it'll also form its function. The same's true with architecture."
