57'10 Podcast by James Whitaker

57’10’s podcast is out featuring the interview that they recorded with me back in November last year. We chatted about all sorts of things, ranging from my experience of working at Heatherwick Studio, what grand tour I would recommend for students on their summer holidays, and the role computer generated images play in my work. It was lovely chatting so hopefully it makes enjoyable listening!

There are some other interesting podcasts in their series so be sure to explore their back catalogue.

Joshua Tree Press Roundup by James Whitaker

Bored Panda Facebook Post

What a crazy couple of weeks! In September I contacted Dezeen about a house that I'm designing at the minute and it ended up being their most popular article for 10 days. It went viral. Forbes wrote about it. The Metro would like to see it on Airbnb. One reader of Bored Panda thought that it would increase his chance of being abducted by aliens. CNN featured it, as did Huffington Post Deutschland, The Sunday TimesDwell, Archdaily, Elle Decoration NetherlandsCurioctopus, Curbed, Inhabitat, Casa Claudia, Ignant, Hypebeast, Design Boom, Demilked, Konbini, The Awesome Daily, Inside Hook, Plain, World Architecture Community, Mind Body Green, New Atlas, Architectura Viva, Interesting Engineering... There are a whole load more articles out there to explore but even this shortened list is very flattering. I'm looking forward to the next stage now!
