The lecture charted a number of projects, with live projected drawing from Nicholas Grimshaw of his stratagies for some of his major projects. He described how he tries to hold a concept down, taking it from a 'napkin sketch' to a detailed (expressed through the details) design. He revels in the enginnering knowhow and 'joy' of the structure.
