Criticism Per Se Does Not Worry Me.

The City Is An Addictive Machine From Which There Is No Escape

A Building Has At Least Two Lives - The One Imagined By Its Maker And The Life It Lives Afterward - And They Are Never The Same.

Lagos Was The Ultimate Dysfunctional City - But Actually, In Terms Of All The Initiatives And Ingenuity, It Mobilised An Incredibly Beautiful, Almost Utopian Landscape Of Independence And Agency.

There Is No Plateau Of Resting Or Stabilising. Once You Are Interested In How Things Evolve, You Have A Kind Of Never-ending Perspective, Because It Means You Are Interested In Articulating The Evolution, And Therefore The Potential Change, The Potential Redefinition.

In Lagos There's A Really Strong Case To Resurrect Strong Parts. Embedded In All Of It Are Some Amazing Pieces Of Planning, Amazing Pieces Of Engineering And Interaction. For Instance, The Campus Of Lagos University Is Stunningly Beautiful, Efficient And Generous, And That Needs To Be Recognised And Preserved.
