quotable

Tom Kundig, architect of a series of exquisite houses in the US landscape, says: “The less you become determinant about the nature of the building, the more flexibility you have, the more likely it is to last, to become part of the future. The most flexible building is an old warehouse: its inherent simplicity allows it to be changed and morphed in time. The trick is to solve the functional, cultural and poetic needs of a client but always with an eye to a simple solution which will be open to change – a client may be confident of their needs but they inevitably change.”
