Autorenporträt
Hugh Petter is one of the most vigorous architects and urban designers of his generation. His work is defined by a broad interest in tradition as an evolving phenomenon - hence the title of this book. Graduating with distinction in 1990, he was twice Rome Scholar in Architecture before returning to ADAM Architecture where he has been a director since 1997. Hugh's unusually broad career embraces not only design, but writing, teaching, and public speaking on diverse aspects of the built environment. His roles have included senior tutor at The Prince of Wales's Institute of Architecture; trustee and chairman of The Art Workers' Guild; member of the Faculty of the Fine Arts at the British School at Rome; trustee and vice chairman of The Georgian Group; trustee of The Prince's Foundation; member of the RIBA Expert Advisory Group on Planning; and governor of the Building Crafts College. His varied portfolio of projects embraces new and historic private houses of all scales; public and institutional buildings; and urban design. Woven through all this work, and his wider charitable contribution, is his determination to lead by example in understanding the past to unlock innovative and more sustainable ways of planning for the future; encouraging the next generation of master craftsmen and traditional designers; improving our appreciation of historic buildings; and pioneering innovative and collaborative ways of creating popular and enduring new places. He has won numerous awards and his work is regularly cited in books, articles and Government publications. Hugh and his wife Chloe have two grown up children, Harry and Charlotte.
