"I'm only interested in making something different.
I have no interest in following fashion.
And when you look at the history of architecture, when somebody
develops a new type of structure or material,
a new type of architecture emerges.
I like to develop my own structural systems & materials to make the work my own."

ReplyDeletethanks Matt, I thought you would like them. He is one of our favourite architects - we love the way he uses paper tubes and gives some of his buildings "skin".
