Architecture as a gift
Buildings to the city, rooms to the people
Approaching architecture as a gift, the wish was to give the city of London something missing, something new; sometimes necessary, sometimes not; but always delivering joy of stopping by, to catch sun or observe others as they, detached, accompany us. These places of encounter, perhaps useless in nature, have their place if for nothing, but the pleasure of visiting or passing through.
