Richard Wood is the Asia managing director of global architecture and design studio Snohetta. He spoke to Andrew Sun.
I feel that food, taste and how these aspects of life evolve are deeply connected to culture and place, but also to routine and community. I think this is even more profound in Hong Kong. I’m originally from the UK and feel it is impossible to beat good home cooking.
I also value authenticity. I’ll always remember discovering Malaysian and Vietnamese dishes in London and feeling the need to experience the real dish. My food perspective also changed living in Istanbul and realising Turkish food can be so many different things.
