Episode 30 - with Guy Hollaway from Hollaway Studio
Guy is the Principal Partner at Hollaway Studio which is a practice that places people and feeling at the core of its philosophy of architecture. Both Guy and the practice are figureheads for architecture in the South-East of England; winning countless awards every single year which includes 7 RIBA Awards, he is the co-author of the book ‘From Now On’, is a lecturer at the Royal Institute of British Architects and has had work published in the NY Times, Dezeen, Wired and the Telegraph.
Today we dive into the power of understanding the client, the place, the past, the community and the future; investigating how a robust understanding of these elements merged with strategic and creative design can empower and transform communities.
Two powerful quotes from Guy which help to identify why he leads the pack:
“Design buildings that have a lifespan...and what I mean by that is that they can get better with age”
“We are merely custodians of architecture; and architecture will outlive us”
