We
listen, engage, observe, think, question, look, learn, research,
design, develop, talk, draw, model, make and facilitate. We are
architects and design tutors.
We think of architecture as
a negotiation - the choice of material, the construction of a detail,
the integration of programme into a wider field. This should be based
on a project's context and a sense of appropriateness - cultural, social
and historical. These preoccupations root a scheme to its place.
Architecture
is about people and activity, interaction and experience. It is
about real things in real places. We are interested in
architecture as a backdrop to life.
