The Best and The Brightest
2005:
Hot Brits, The architects AOC
"AOC look - and act - most
unlike stereotypical architects.
A multi-disciplinary practice
from varied backgrounds [...]
the partnership formed after
they discovered they shared
the same obsessions: 'the connection
of people to places rather than
beautiful places per se [...]
buildings that are built for
one purpose and can then be
used for something else'."
