My Legacy

Producer Director : Alberto Lau
Peter wants to be remembered as an ethical, moral person. As an architect, he ruefully recalls saying in the documentary Five Years in the Life, "I thought I would be more famous than I am." With respect to a legacy he has a lot of students who like him and a small number of very good buildings. He hopes to leave a legacy with this current research into engineered wood and with a redefinition of the architect as a citizen in a political, cultural, urban, climate-challenged world.
