Special Edition Asia - Interview with Byoung Cho: “I am not interested in treating the building as sculpture. Compared to the work of other architects my forms are rather subdued.

I want people to understand how beautiful the surroundings are.“

Interview with Bjarke Ingels: “Why should a building be judged purely on the grounds of utility? Shouldn’t it also behave like a good citizen?

Interview with Mecanoo: “Different people bring different kinds of expertise into the designing process. We, the architects, are the ones who know about space – or are supposed to – and about designing it. But we are not experts in how teachers want to teach, nor are we are experts in the kind of space in which the users feel at ease. So it can help a lot when you talk to teachers and students or children.”
