I wanted to improve the suburban office building; to create a great urban space in a suburban environment with all that implies about interaction, collaboration and creativity.
To grow up five miles outside of the greatest city in the world is a bizarre experience.
I attended an evangelical Christian university on the outskirts of suburban Los Angeles and by the time of my graduation was neither evangelical nor Christian.
I grew up in this little city called Brampton. It's pretty suburban - there's not a lot going on. In my neighbourhood, specifically, there weren't a lot of other kids so I would just spend a lot of time inside.
I grew up in the suburbs, sometimes country-like suburbs because we moved around, but mostly suburbs.
People do not realise that many of my works are done in urban places. I was brought up on the edge of Leeds, five miles from the city centre-on one side were fields and on the other, the city.
I grew up in Los Angeles and always wished I'd spent a childhood in a far different place.
I grew up in the suburbs, which I don't think shaped me very much.
I think, growing up in a small town - I grew up in a lot of different places. I grew up in a city environment, a more suburban environment, a more rural environment. That's the beauty of New Jersey is you get a lot of different types of living.
I was born in Manhattan and grew up in Scarsdale. Scarsdale didn't work for me as a place at all.
