CASE STUDY 9: JOHN MCASLAN & PARTNERS[81]
Background
We always insist in having a look at a client's existing buildings and examining the client's company culture, we consider this standard good practice.
—Andrew Hapgood, John McAslan & Partners
After having spent some time with the Richard Rogers Partnership in the early 1980s, John McAslan, born in Glasgow in 1954, set up his practice in 1984, originally with partner Jamie Troughton who left the company in 1996. He has always had a particular concern for history, which has led his studio into restoration and adaptive projects for classic modernist icons such as the Peter Jones store in London and Wright's extraordinary campus at Florida Southern College. He comments on his office, ''Working with the past is second nature to the practice, but our central concern is a timeless one: insistence on the proper use of materials and the creative use of space and form. We seek to make an honest, accessible modern architecture for the twenty-first century, rooted in the past but looking to the future."
