  • 2. A few years back when my style was 'punk grandma ' I picked up an amazing pair of sandals – orthopaedic ones with really thick soles. I've given them away to a friend now because these days my look is more '1980s substitute teacher gone wild.'

5 Architecture

  • 3. My buildings will be my legacy… they will speak for me long after I'm gone.
