Influential Architecture

'Green roof' School of Art, Design & Media - Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
"This 5 story facility sweeps a wooded corner of the campus with an organic, vegetated form that blends landscape and structure, nature and high-tech and symbolizes the creativity it houses."

Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport (Lyon Satolas Airport) - Lyon, France
"The building's most striking profile, based on two converging steel arches 120 meters long and 40 meters high. The building is most obviously expressive of a bird, symbolizing flight...the two main arches coming together at the bird's beak."

'Belgo Zuid' - London
An international restaurant that "explores the Belgian idiosyncrasies as a theme. The design strategy was to explore the formal, structural and organisational qualities of the brief, beyond the intentional kitsch origins... stomach, intestines barrels of beer & medieval vaults were some of the form making references"
