Who are you working with on live projects currently? At King's Cross, we have schemes under way with Eric Parry, Demetri Porphyrios, Niall McLaughlin, David Morley and Stanton Williams. New buildings coming on stream in the next 12 months are being designed by Michel Mossessian, Duggan Morris, Piercy&Co, Thomas Heatherwick, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, Fumihiko Maki and Michael Squire. In Birmingham we are developing two new buildings with Glenn Howells and Eric Parry. How will you recruit architects for the next schemes in your development pipeline? We are already working with the likes of Cartwright Pickard, AEW, FaulknerBrowns and 5Plus Architects in Manchester, and are looking to widen our net We recently held a joint charrette with the AJ, which threw up some very interesting ideas. Usually we will hold a short, limited competition for new projects as they come forward with the aim of finding the right design team, not necessarily the right scheme -that will emerge later as we refine the brief together.
