Hugh Dutton shares an architect’s aspirations and realisations, more than 20 years after having trained with Peter Rice.

This lecture recording presents some of Hugh’s work, explaining the design process and philosophy behind such projects as:
  • Climate Ribbon, Miami
  • Electric transport pylons, France and Italy
  • Daylight chandelier, Hôtel de la Marine, Paris
  • Breeze canopies in Wuhan, China
 
Reasons to watch
  • Discover how integrating engineering as first principles can improve design
  • Understand the importance of cohesion of engineering and architectural design
  • Learnings from Peter Rice - letting poetry inspire design

Designing with nature

About Hugh

Hugh trained at the Architectural Association. He began his professional career with Peter Rice, with whom he co-authored Structural Glass on the first bolted structural glass design at the La Villette Science museum. HDA, his specialist architectural design firm, was formed in 1995 in Paris. The practice has collaborated on many now significant projects around the world. It continues to concentrate on multidisciplinary design in architecture and engineering, combining themes of geometry, light and the environment.
