Jamaican-born architect Gordon Gill and founding partner of the award-winning Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture is one of the world’s most respected performance-based architects. His work, which ranges from the world’s largest buildings to sustainable communities, is driven by his philosophy that there is a purposeful relationship between formal design and performance, and that there is a language of performance, which is the basis of his practice: Form Follows Performance.
