Abstract: Driven by his three tenets of architecture, Diversity, Individuality and Naughtiness. Will Alsop paints his way into architecture through a design process that acts as a conduit for the dreams and aspiration of others. Moving from public consultation to the privacy of his painting studio ù it is here, born in the liquidity of paint, the flourish of line and the serendipity of collage, that Alsop disengages from cultural baggage, discards the tyranny of taste and opens up to a world of less predictable and more diverse solutions.
