Patrik Schumacher on how he works on ever more 'tectonic' projects at Zaha Hadid Architects

In this episode we're in London with Patrik Schumacher, principal of Zaha Hadid Architects. Born in Bonn, Germany, Patrik studied philosophy, math and architecture in Germany and the UK before earning his PhD. In 1996 he co-founded the Design Research Laboratory at the Architectural Association in London, where he continues to teach today. Patrik first joined Zaha Hadid Architects in 1988 and collaborated closely with the late Zaha Hadid to define the design approach of the firm, which produces visionary projects that range from cultural institutions, to transportation hubs and office towers in cities around the globe. Patrik is an architect that combines theory with practice to create new types of space and forms. Despite their complexity, the projects are surprisingly clean and legible.Listen as we talk about Patrik's design process, his experience with Zaha Hadid, how he works with materials, and how he is using new technologies such as artificial intelligence to advance projects.
