Cullinan Studio is a highly distinctive architectural practice and a force for good. This book places the work of Cullinan Studio in the context of the early 21st century. Being a progressive co-operative practice that continues to innovate, Cullinan Studio has a considerable catalogue of buildings and places achieved since the Millennium, including cultural centres, industrial, academic and research buildings, housing and regeneration, health and well-being buildings. In a world where there is constant pressure to specialise, how do they manage it – and how will they continue to do so? The author has worked with the practice directors and practice members, visiting the key buildings and places with them and discussing them in detail to build up a picture of how this idealistic and inventive practice negotiates the architectural challenges of today, finding new ways to serve society and maintain and strongly ethical focus while continuing to be commercially effective.

Hugh Pearman was the architecture and design critic for The Sunday Times for 30 years and (overlapping with this) has been the editor of the RIBA Journal since 2006. His previous books include Contemporary World Architecture (Phaidon, 2008), Equilibrium: the work of Nicholas Grimshaw and Partners (Phaidon, 2000), Airports: a century of architecture (Laurence King, 2004) and Hawkins\Brown: it’s your building (Merrell, 2018). He has contributed to many others including the peer-reviewed A Gendered Profession (RIBA Publishing, 2016). He writes for many media ranging from Royal Academy magazine and The Spectator to Architectural Record in the United States. He is an Honorary Fellow of the RIBA. IN 2019 he was made an MBE for services to architecture.
