is changing the space industry and drastically lowering the cost of entering orbit by developing reusable rockets. Te way he has done this is turning the usual process on its head, by failing early, failing fast and failing often through a process of continuously developing prototypes and flying and testing these as fast as possible. Elon’s engineering process draws parallels to the ways in which industrial designers or architects design. Just as with Tesla, Elon Musk has integrated SpaceX vertically. Te designers and the engineers work in the same location where rockets are being fabricated, making the whole development agile and fast.


Who outside the industry can architects and designers learn from?


Over the last couple of decades, architects have seen their responsibilities taken over by an ever growing army of consultants and project managers. I feel architects are losing their ability to drive the design through strong concepts and ideas.


I am always impressed by the ways in which film directors are able to deliver a particular vision or narrative. Just like architects, they also need to manage a vast amount of individuals and experts within the creative process. I was really blown away with


the Stanley Kubrick exhibition curated at the Design Museum in London. Stanley Kubrick’s attention to detail and drive to bring his vision for 2001: A Space Odyssey to fruition was nothing short of inspiring.


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


To create real innovation in architecture, we first need to create the right environment. Our industry has a fragmented procurement process, due to the traditional tender processes. During the design phase, architects have little to no connection with the contractor
