Fuse Guest Lecture

On October 22nd David Mathews a director at Fuse gave a lecture on the work that his practice does and gave us an insight in to the running a of the practice, which seemed a lot more fun than most others ( " we take our work seriously but not ourselves too seriously"). They have a wide ranging portfolio from master planning business parks to hotels and casinos even hard rock cafes. This practice symbolises the type of studio I wish to work at.
