Not in a macho or childish way, but appreciating how all this construction work produces such a beautiful mess.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe project allowed Teller to draw on his own past experiences of collaborating with architects—with David Adjaye, who built his home (as well as the auditorium at \u003cem\u003ePlumtree Court\u003c\/em\u003e), and with 6a architects, who built his studio.
