By Design

Our Trends guest this week is James Calder from the architects Woods Bagot, who work now pretty much across the globe. Woods Bagot is an interesting firm in that they have been doing a lot of research and thinking about culture, about cities and about how we live our lives.

James has put forward the concept of a 14-hour city -- the argument being that most of the our buildings lie dormant for half the day -- and the weekends -- and that most of our lives now are too complex to revolve around a 9 to 5 existence.
