Alejandro Zaero-Polo to Niall Hobhouse on FOA project architect and site visit
Emory Smith is the name of our project architect. He was with us for a while, went to Harvard to do a master’s and is coming back to London, at least temporarily, to do this project. He is both academically bright and an excellent designer. He arrives on Monday and we can absorb him on something else, but that is a bit dangerous because people then tend to get stuck and we think he is ideal for this project. It would be better for him to start on this as soon as possible. We could get him to visit the site next week and start digesting the material before you come, so that the first meeting can be more productive. In order to start, what would be very important is to get digital files of the surveys as soon as possible. If you can get somebody to send us the stuff immediately, we can start testing.
