Material Matters Verified independent store

A genuinely revealing memoir from one of the UK’s most flamboyant, and important, architects, whose buildings include the National Centre for Popular Music in Sheffield, London’s G effrye Museum extension, and Caffe Bongo in Tokyo. There are tales of extraordinary projects, of club culture and parties, of friendships and loves, of lives sadly lost, and professional regrets. Often intriguing and occasionally really quite racy, it’s an architecture book like no other. Show more
