Timothy Allen talks with Patrik Schumacher
Today's guest should need little or no introduction. He is the renowned architectural theorist, educator and author Patrik Schumacher, probably best know currently as the principal architect at Zaha Hadid Architects, who are renowned for their innovative and futuristic designs utilising organic forms and cutting edge technology. Those of you who follow the Free cities space closely will also know that Zaha Hadid were commissioned to design customisable buildings in Honduras's Free City Próspera, something we get to discuss in the conversation.
Enjoy the conversation.
