In September 2015 he was invited to join the Construction Leadership Council with responsibility for leading the Exports and Trade work stream.

As an architect yourself, who inspires you?

Alvar Aalto was my great love as a student. It is the appreciation of natural materials, the innovation of using familiar materials in new ways that I found inspiring.

But if you are talking about that feeling when you get a tingling sensation in your spine when you walk into a building and think hey, this is something great, I am blown away by I.M. Pei’s designs. Recently I visited the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha - it is just beautiful how all these traditional ideas have been rethought in a completely contemporary way.

Vasco de Gama Centre

Lisbon’s mixed-use beacon shines bright. We were inspired by the city’s Expo ’98 theme — ‘the oceans’ — which influenced everything from sail-form tower profiles to shopping centre detailing.

Piccadilly Station

The most significant new mainline station building in the UK for 40 years.

Universities in Libya

Ten new universities open Libya up to the West. Eighteen faculty types — covering all Engineering, Humanities and Health Sciences sectors — will accommodate 38,000 students and there will be 15,000 student residential and 600 staff units.

Liverpool ONE

Retail regeneration transforms Liverpool city centre. We masterplanned a 42-acre area of Liverpool, creating a mixed-used development of new and refurbished buildings, streets and spaces.

New Cathedral Street

Retail-led mixed use development in central Manchester.
