If I were to list, I don’t know if I could really prioritise it because many things go on simultaneously and you can’t say orientation, climate, location, site, context, I mean, they’re all... Interrelated. Yeah, they’re all part of it and they’re all things that you’re thinking about at the same time. You're not just thinking, you know, how context irrespective of orientation, light and... and movement. So all of these things kind of happen at one time and then, so that’s, sort of, one grouping of elements. The second grouping of elements would be, you know, what is it, what’s the program, what is it, what do they want of you? What’s the problem you’re trying to deal with? And then the third thing is okay, how do you take those elements and make something that goes beyond just solving the problem because if it’s just solving the problem, you know, what’s the point?
The prominent American architect Richard Meier (b. 1934) is best known for the Getty Centre in Los Angeles, one of his many public projects which broke from his usual style of sleek, white buildings. In all his work – carried out with characteristic refined style – he refuses to bend to the trends of modern architecture. He has won many awards including the Pritzker Prize for Architecture, considered the field's highest honour.
