"We’ll see a bigger focus on design and less on architecture". "...the focus will be a lot more on what happens inside.”

Two points:
1) Architecture is design
2) Architecture is driven by 'what happens inside'

Simon appears to believe architecture is merely about the outer shape and appearance of a building, but how does he think achitects get there? Isn't building form/aesthetic a result of the arduous lengths gone through to consider circulation, navigation, multi-use spaces etc? It's a indication of the lengths we have to go to change the public perception of what an architect is and does
