The intelligent use of steel is common to all of Moxon Architects projects, whether it is used in a discrete structural capacity, or more prominently in the envelope of larger projects. The firm is particularly enthusiastic about the potential for steel, particularly its unique physical properties including energy conduction and high strength to weight ratio.

Ben also runs a Degree Unit in Architectural Design at the Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment [UCL] and sits on the RIBAs Building Futures Advisory Board.
