Gustavo is Design Director of our Newark studio; he brings experience across China, the Netherlands and the Middle East. His work balances the varied responsibilities of architecture with a commitment to synthesising cultural, economic and social benefit through the built form.

‘Whatever architecture we do, the human components and human experiences are key,’ he says. ‘Instead of looking at buildings as these large intonations of power or representative of a culture, it’s really about the multiplicity of spaces that accumulate into a larger system. That’s the icon.
