Über den Autor

Benedict Zucchi, Principal and Head of Architecture at Building Design Partnership, studied architecture at the Universities of Cambridge and Harvard. His previous publications include the first English language monograph on Italian architect Giancarlo De Carlo. A close reading of place and use and an abiding interest in user participation have been common threads in Benedict's projects, which range from mixed-use masterplans, schools and universities to designs for major hospitals.
