The architect and Olympian gets pumped on pull-ups, Przewalski’s horse dung and Superman
My personal style signifier is my walk. People often tell me they can see me from a mile away because of it: I walk like an athlete. Nowadays I am best known as a “biologic architect”, using nature’s form in everything I create, but I am also a four-time Senior Olympics gymnastics champion and an eight-time world champion in amateur boxing. The last thing I bought and loved was a large gilded picture frame for a drawing of a building I did. Gold makes everything look regal and aristocratic.
The neighbourhood has since changed and new people have moved in, many because they actually want to be near it. It’s now seen as a cool place to live. An indulgence I could never forgo is the sauna. I’m in there for an hour, four days a week. The last item of clothing I added to my wardrobe was a cropped silver rain jacket, one of my most ergonomic designs. Silver minimises reflection back into the atmosphere and maximises insulation.
