According to reports from those who were there, the judges were left shellshocked by Lynch Associates heavyweight performance at Tuesday's Building Design Young Architect of the Year presentations. Patrick and Claudia Lynch apparently arrived with a builders' van full of models, and peppered their presentation with enough quotations by Oscar Wilde, Joseph Rykwert and Bob Dylan to leave even Alain de Botton scratching his pale head, while fellow judge Graham Morrison was said (by Building Design's Ellis Woodman) to have found the presentation off-putting. Not so off-putting the Lynches didn't win, though. Ironically, their portfolio speaks for itself.
