Philosophy
Intelligent buildings and precincts must be the product of a dialogue between the designer and user. To that end we have developed provocative techniques to induce consideration of and solutions to complex situations inherent in every undertaking.Like humans, buildings are both wholly unique, and exemplars of their species, taking their place among a family of pieces in a collective enterprise; the making of cities.
