The site, its cultural prominence and location, together with a complex programme, demanded from us an alternative approach; park, culture and commerce form a seamless whole.
 
Buildings are normally viewed as objects that sit in context. They seem to objectify their separateness from their surroundings. We wanted to take the view that the site suggests the possibility of non-object buildings, in which architecture and landscape are one. Southbank was our first collaboration with Anish Kapoor.
