Sean Griffiths, Charles Holland and Sam Jacob of FAT explain how they have developed their own brand of fit‐for‐purpose Radical Post‐Modernism that enables them to actively engage with the specifics of any building project.

Not afraid to magnify the ordinary and the familiar, FAT tackle the often‐thorny questions of taste and meaning head on with a joyful verve. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
