Along with almost everything else and if as a writer (Hemingway) I thought that nothing I did was worthwhile or as a designer I thought that all I did was operate a sophisticated rubber stamp I would give up.
I find the attitude expressed by Henry Cohen exactly the defeatist attitude that makes landscape…[Read more]

Another possibility is that a ‘trend setter’ is king but if there is always a trend, this king will soon be unseated when someone comes along to ‘buck the trend’.

I think designing and building for this kind of eventuality offers two alternatives: either to construct to resist or to ‘go with the flow’, in other words to make buildings that are easy to put back together if damaged.…[Read more]
