To me, buildings are simply shelters or sculptures unless they fully respond to place, purpose and real human need – then they become Architecture.
Andrew Talbot
Director
I am the director and business owner at Become. I lead the company's vision and direction, and work with Ben to set the business strategy and plan.
The first time I met an Architect was in my teens when my parents were building a new house. I expected the Architect to show a portfolio of impressive designs.
Instead he asked if they took delight in being woken by the sun in the mornings. It was an inspiring example of the power of architecture to enrich people’s lives, and ultimately what led to me becoming an Architect.
People describe me as positive, enthusiastic and energetic. A lot like my treasured cocker spaniel.
