Abstract

Light and water are generally regarded as the signature elements of Kathryn Gustafson's work. Michael Spens highlights here how in recent projects with London-based partner Neil Porter, Gustafson has also developed a particular sensitivity to the specifics of site and context. This has led to strong narrative interpretations that are most apparent in the use of memory and history in their two projects for Beirut and their evocation of natural ecosystems in the Gardens by the Bay for Singapore.
