Giving a rare insight into the inner workings of his creative practice. It details his personal approach to his work, his inspirations, the link between art and architecture, and the significance and correlation between his passions, such as being an avid aviator, and his work. The XXL monograph encompasses a lifetime of achievement and originality in two volumes.
