Le Corbusier was to architecture what Picasso was to painting, a towering and egomaniacal creative force who transformed his discipline for ever. His buildings have inspired admiration, sometimes devotion. He is an icon, granted the nickname “Corb” or “Corbu” by architects. He has also been vigorously attacked, as a mechanistic fanatic whose ideas inspired inhumane tower blocks and concrete jungles.

Why Innovation Matters Innovation is a crucial factor in advancing society forward. The concept of difference-in-degree and difference-in-kind illustrates the two forms of innovation. Difference-in-degree involves incremental improvements to existing technologies, whereas difference-in-kind is a complete transformation of the status quo. The latter, also known as disruptive innovation, can completely revolutionize an industry or society.

Torriano Cottages sits on a garden plot within a historic 19th-century cul-de-sac in Kentish Town. Pank designed the property in 1966, deliberately, though sensitively, juxtaposing the architectural fabric of the streetscape with his modernist brick,

Sustainability begins with a conversation, and acquiring customer buy-in is entirely dependent on how the conversation is framed. Clients may not see sustainability as a priority out of fear of operational costs and quality. While these are legitimate concerns, it is our responsibility as architects to listen and foster a collaborative culture that answers client issues while also reducing our carbon footprint.
