Grant Brooker, partner and head of studio at Foster + Partners, gives a fascinating insight into the firm’s design process and how 'keeping processes the same and having a diverse workforce with shared interests' allow you to work through challenges.

He tells Peter Murray about their differences in approach to Gehry Partners with whom Fosters are designing Phase Three of the Battersea Power Station regeneration project. Conversation continues to the idea of the 'post-Covid office', which Grant says will be a 'test';

What is the ideal? What is the right workplace? What is the right working moment?
