An essential character of the firm’s process-driven design is the ability to leverage a disparate group of influences on architecture. The gravitational pull and cross effects of cultural, social, tectonic, artistic, ecological, economic and regulatory factors on the design trajectory of a project, from inception to realization, are analyzed and balanced in order to imprint their appropriate mark on a project. Often these forces are non-architectural in nature and exert an indirect affect on the design. This approach, both theoretical and practical, creates a rigorous and critical design process with thoughtful and purposeful results.
