Who are the radical thinkers who inspire you right now?


I love the Design Emergency interviews from Paola Antonelli and Alice Rawsthorn. Te interview with Neri Oxman was very inspiring. Taking the idea of collaborating directly with nature to a whole new level of bio-engineering through Oxmans Material Ecology.


Who outside the industry can architects and designers learn from?


Nature is the greatest thing we can learn from, being curious about what we see around us, whether it’s the structure of leaves, shadow patterns from trees and the amazing natural colours we come across.


What will lead the way for more radical thinking in your/our field?


Real-time rendering will make it so much easier for us to explore our interior designs virtually. Being able to visualise schemes with our clients will inevitably challenge us and the expectations of the final product.


Left Returning to John Berger’s Ways of Seeing has helped Duesbury view things from a different perspective


Could you recommend a book/article/blog that inspired your thinking? Ways of Seeing by John Berger is such a classic text. I can’t remember when I first dipped into this book, probably at university, but coming back to it occasionally helps me rediscover the way of looking at the world around us.


Could you name two buildings/pieces of furniture that you consider radical designs of their time, or perhaps still to this day? Dancing House or ‘Fred and Ginger’ as it was known, by Frank Gehry. It was one of the first buildings I saw that really had a sculptural quality to it and was designed to look like it had movement. Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater is also fascinating in the way the building interacts with its natural surroundings.


I think best with… (my hands/a pencil/ with a computer)


A cup of coffee, staring into space and day-dreaming.


I think best… (first thing in the morning/ last thing at night)


Last thing at night. Toughts mature from the day or planning for the next day, and form into ideas that pop up and need to be captured.


I think best when… (in a gallery/at home/ outside/over drinks/with friends/on the bus) Travelling, looking out of a train window at the moving landscape or looking out from the plane window at the scenery below.


Te thought that keeps me up at night is… How are we going to make a swift enough change in our mindset to climate change


to really start making a difference for our future.


Te thought that gets me out of bed is… Learning new things, meeting new challenges and getting introduced to different ways of thinking.


Do you like to think with, or think against? I tend to think against, and to challenge conventions.


If you weren’t a designer/architect, where do you think your way of thinking would have led you?


Making furniture or sculpting something out
