Career


He developed an interest in industrial design at an early stage of his career. Today he is one of the outstanding figures in his profession, with a reputation for his ability to innovate.


In his creative work on constructions he encroaches on territory which is usually
regarded as the sole preserve of the engineer. This "intrusion" is especially evident in a series of new agricultural machines which are currently being developed, and which will feature several innovations,
in particular a new approach to the relationship between man and machine.


He also happens to have a keen interest in new forms of housing.
