People, Place, Purpose — James Taylor-Foster

People Place Purpose: The World According to Mecanoo describes and presents the specific approach to architecture that the Delft-based practice explores: seeking identity in a globalised world. From the texture of a local stone to colours of a fruit tree or rituals of inhabitants, Mecanoo is driven to design buildings with strength to earth.
