This is an inflatable structure, which can be deployed in under two hours, intended for use in community events, festivals, meetings, etc. The shape was designed to be intriguing and inviting – after studying other facilities on the estate, such as a health bus which visited on a regular basis but had few people enter it, we concluded that the space needed to be very open so that residents would have the opportunity to simply ‘walk through’ it.

One of my most interesting projects has also been my smallest. It involved branding the Copenhagen Cooking School (KBH Madhus) through the design of an outdoor kitchen. As the location was in the heart of the international styled meat-packing district, the design could take its cue from a number of elements, including Copenhagen’s famous portable sausage stands. The project won a Red Dot award in 2009. Marc Wilson, Copenhagen

I still have strong family ties in New Zealand and have returned frequently over the years. With the current design and construction of my own house at Otama Beach, I am actively pursuing other work there, including marketing to Americans with potential projects in New Zealand, possibly by joint venture with a local architect.

By being heavily involved with the building users, from management to surgeons, from physios to porters we produced a patient-centred building that was a positive space to be in. The concept was based around clarity of circulation and functional arrangement which allows patients to be more in control of their situation. Euan Revell, Edinburgh

The school was funded under the Building the Education Revolution (BER) stimulus package. We were able to build a new hall, three classrooms and a staff room, while other projects that were not able to employ their own architects only got a hall – Kiwi tenacity! Clare Carter, Sydney

My most recent project was a creative residency project funded by the New Zealand Department of Conservation in Fox Glacier township in November and December 2010. As artist in residence I undertook a process of ‘mapping’ the glacier, using GPS, sound, video and drawing, with help from the local glacier guiding company. Chris Cottrell, Edinburgh

The work is exploring the representation of landscape through cartography, which itself has a history as an art and a science, so is embedded in traditions of drawing that address different forms of (objective) precision and (subjective) impression. It identifies the importance of the role and practice of drawing in the appropriation and shaping of ideas and forms about the earth and its surface.

The children acted as the client with the aim to inspire creativity in young people and improve the quality of life through good design. Lego was used as a design tool because modelling with it is quick, playful, conducive to experimentation and allows for design democracy: anyone can be the architect!

This project required the combination of two completely different programs. The art gallery required a minimalist approach with a lot of wall space, specialised gallery lighting and minimal architectural clutter to distract from the artwork. The disco required colorful lighting, a big sound system, DJ booth, multiple TV and projection screens and catering facilities for large crowds. I was lucky enough to have been invited to two gallery openings which, later in the evening with the flick of a few switches, turned into dance parties. Grant Richardson, New York

The architecture is consciously low key – a contemporary extension of a nineteenth-century former power station – but the activities that it houses are fascinating. The school trains circus performers in anything you can think of, but animals (and clowns are tolerated, just). It is sobering to meet someone whose life and work is passionately devoted to bounce juggling or the Chinese wheel. Jonathan Rennie, Los Angeles

An 84-room hotel built around an existing colonial building that was once the British Consulate. This was a very intense and stressful project which came together very fast. I think I travelled to Thailand 50 times during the course of construction of this and the Bangkok apartments. An exciting time, learning about the culture and traditions of Thailand and applying this to the hotel in a modern way. Yvette Adams, Singapore

Following an instruction from his Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said, the Royal Estates, Royal Court Affairs, entered into detailed discussions with Theatre Projects Consultants (TPC) to develop a brief for a 1,100-seat concert house in Muscat.
