A few highlights from the interview:
“The most important thing is the form and proportion of the rooms” – on her RMIT education and a healthy scepticism toward details designed for their own sake.
On her approach to detailing at KTA: direct, economical, and pragmatic – with a goal of reducing exceptional details and the drawings that come with them.
And a provocation worth sitting with: “Many detail drawings produced today are redundant, since contractors end up redesigning the details anyway.”
