FRUITION OF FORM
It’s not only
about buildings, but it’s also about engaging edges exploring at a much smaller scale the obsession
with the ritual symbol of the mandala and astronomical observation, not domineering depending on which angle you view it from how people
relate to the built environment that
has a surface that reads as a colour field rather than a series of tiles with the intention that they will be altered and added to in time in favour of an ever-unfolding dialectic of form
and life turns radical ideas into built projects to resolve a more
instinctive merging between interlocking
levels and interior gardens makes architects think about all
the elements of cities that aren’t buildings devoted to the unruly instinctive merging between the tower and
the use of natural ventilation and passive energy systems of buildings that are
accretive rather than rupturing repetition
is used to create grain and a pattern of complexity against
singularity and for diversity, eloquent, rebellious, endearing, and superficially unassuming rooms open
to the sky, on the roof you have a very clear,
direct conceptual relationship with the old, that is to say, every day it offers more in the
way of skills, activities, opportunity
and a passion for working with the people who make your buildings and a real respect
for the ephemeral: the evening stroll.
