In this episode Roger interviews Kevin Owens Founder of WOO Architects and former Design Principal for The London 2012 Olympic Games. Our conversation covered many areas including:

  • Rethinking the architect's role on a programme of this scale. 
  • How clarity of vision helps.
  • Cost pressure vs value engineering in a financial crisis.
  • Challenging the client.
  • Designing for experience and the 'legacy of memory.' 
  • Agile, tech-driven change.
  • Not letting history be a limitation.
  • Continuously jumping between the micro and the macro.
  • And much more.
