WELCOME TO

( in on-going construction phase )

ARCHITECTURE IS NOT ABOUT  ‘STYLE’.   IT IS, RATHER, ABOUT MAKING A DIRECT DESIGN RESPONSE IN STRUCTURE, FORM,  MATERIALS AND PLANNING -- TO:  IT’S PROPOSED FUNCTION, IT’S ENVIRONMENT- BOTH NATURAL AND MANMADE- INTO WHICH IT IS TO BE PLACED. THE EXTREMES & PREVAILING PATTERNS OF WEATHER, WIND, SUN, ETC., TOPOGRAPHY, LOCAL & SOMETIMES EXTENDED POPULATION DEMOGRAPHICS & THE USE OF SUSTAINABLE  METHODS & MATERIALS.

AND, MOST IMPORTANT- IF ARCHITECTURE IS TO BE CONSIDERED REALLY SUCCESSFUL -IT MUST EVOKE A STRONG AND, PROPER TO IT’S FUNCTION, EMOTIONAL RESPONSE IN THE VIEWER / USER.
