"The tendencies this year - whilst I was a judge last year in the World Architecture Festival - is clear. There is more concern about the environment and buildings are becoming more reasonable to a certain degree. And the market has cut out a lot of the extremes, a lot of the craziness and the excess that was there during the last two or three years."

"Times Square is such an intensely public space that we really wanted to set at to do something that would benefit the place and the city beyond.

Which combines public space for the city and a building tucked underneath for our client from which to sell tickets for the Broadway theatres."
