I believe that architecture can be a mechanism for social change. Architecture has the ability to bring people together. These ideals also carry over regarding environmental stewardship. We cannot sit back



I am also a firm believer in understanding the space from human needs, energy issues, and efficiency of construction methods. Architecture is a for people, so the function of the building must take precidence. I believe that the form of the building should take shape from the climatic impositions, and the spatial needs of the interior of the building. Great architecture can evolve from the given parameters set forth by nature while attending to aspects of space and light.

As architects we are major factors in the building industry and are constantly in the realm of the built environment. Thus, we have a duty to design buildings that are in tune with their surroundings, that tread lightly on the earth. We must be the voice of social change.
