We see a project as something in continuous evolution—a synthesis of ideas, expertise, culture, intuition, needs, aspirations, ambiance, and people. The success of a project depends on the architect’s ability to interconnect these elements. Shapes and spaces alone lead to only a partial result; a project reaches its full realization when people begin to inhabit and experience the finished space.

A project must be able to assess the unexpected combinations that each situation may present. It’s important to take advantage of them while remaining cautious. The unexpected is a valuable resource, but it can also conceal hidden challenges and pitfalls.
