PILKINGTON

My approach to the discipline of architecture begins with exploring solutions to the most urgent challenges society faces today including pandemics, homelessness, poverty, and above all: the existential threat of the global climate crisis. Meeting these challenges starts with developing healthy, resilient, and sustainable communities.
