We build buildings for people, in and with nature.
Over the last 40-50 years, we have gotten very good at building buildings to separate and "protect us" from nature, and this has been to our extreme detriment as individuals, as societies, and as cultures.
​
When we understand the synergies between nature and our adjustments to it, we begin to realize we are nature, and working within the constraints of existing systems informs us in a way that helps us to achieve excellence, for the long-term, and for the great benefit of all entities connecting to that construct.
​
Reciprocity is the goal. A true interconnected understanding of how systems interrelate can help us to make choices that benefit the project we are working on, the community/culture it resides within, and the systems of nature it affects and is affected by.
