Robert and I bring unusual and varied backgrounds to architectural design. Robert was trained as a sculptor and painter before studying architecture, and I worked as a professional dancer, occasionally dabbling in choreography as well as set and costume design. Robert’s experience in making things has profoundly influenced the materials we choose to work with and the ways in which we construct. In his sculpture, Robert explores the relationship between frame and infill, plastic form and rigid material, solid object and mysterious void. On the other hand, my experience as a dancer heightened my sense of space as a physical presence while instilling in me a bias towards movement as the generator of architectural design.
