It was Wilkinson Eyre's distinctive profile that originally drew Emma to the practice.
'I'm interested in how architects communicate - both with their peers and in public. Many of our
projects have a very clear narrative, and I'm interested in how these stories can be developed to
better communicate our ideas. There's often a temptation to post-rationalise or use complex and
inaccessible language to describe our work. I prefer a more direct and honest message.' Emma's own
background in architectural theory has enabled her to explore new ways of illustrating the
practice's approach, particularly during the competition stages of a project. 'I think it's
important to make sure that the content lives up to the style. It's not enough to have good
images - we have to be able to communicate in words too.'
