Architecture
Here’s the rambling chat that I did this morning on @ArchitectureChat Instagram feed. I hope you enjoy it and if you have any questions write in the comments section below and I will try my best to answer them for you.
Hope you’re all staying safe and well!
Hello fellow quarantiners!
The instagram page @architecturechat have invited me to chat/give a lecture on their Instagram live feed, so on Friday morning at 10am (here in sunny London) I'm going to do just that. Whoop! Taking advantage of the more personal nature of a webchat rather than a big lecture theatre it could be a great opportunity to answer some questions, chat about my projects and tell some entertaining tales. So send me your questions and I'll see what I can answer…
I rather like this drawing, an exploded net of the Joshua Tree Residence.

From outside is looking like a GTA glitch 😂🔥
This did make me chuckle. The internet can be a brutal place 😂

It’s lovely to be in another book and this week’s weighty coffee table number is devoted to fans of Porsches (and, so by extension, good design).
Whilst artists work from the real to the abstract, architects must work from the abstract to the real. Architecture, beneath all its limitations of engineering, safety, function, climate and economy, arouse us with designs in space and light achieved in the abstract.
We’re currently enjoying developing a series of 3D printed pendant lights. More to follow in time.
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.
Gestalten has just released a new book featuring our Joshua Tree Residence on the front cover. You can find out more here.
A giant thank you to all involved! It’s a real privilege.
Lovely to be in this months edition of Eme magazine in Spain.
