“A city is like a garden,” “Things grow up, you chop them back, new things grow. That’s what keeps it alive. It’s not about sentiment; it’s about what works.”

“In an ideal world, we would all retain and upgrade buildings. The space and resources to extend, refurbish and convert would be limitless and there would be no need to demolish and start again. That is in an ideal world, though, not a real one.”

-Ken Shuttleworth

"I was in there the other day. I was looking at the glass all the way around thinking, 'Why on earth did we do that?' Now, we would do things differently. Even if it was still a funny shape, it probably wouldn't have glass all the way around and, as it went further up, the building the facade would be more solid.“ – Ken Shuttleworth

"Efficiency is the most important thing. We've been designing more and more complicated glass boxes for 30 years, to try and reduce energy load … rather than just accepting it should be a solid wall with a window in. That would be much more efficient, much cheaper and easier to maintain.“

- Ken Shuttleworth
