Ever been the only single person in the room? The pressure to conform can cause untold grief at dinner parties. It also happens to be the single greatest blight on the built environment.

Cradle to cradle not cradle to grave!
Our throwaway society may find it hard to imagine a building made up entirely of recycled components, but that is just what we have to do.

Our cities and townscapes have to reflect the messy unpredictability of those who live in them. Attempts to impose order by micro-managing every masterplan will end in lifeless homogeneity – which is the enemy of beauty

Pack Culture
Football chants, wearing Gilbert & George cufflinks, designing Middle Eastern cities of the future … it’s all so conformist. And when even virtual worlds smack of the pack mentality, something has to be done.
