Theory

In this section we explore some of the ideas that underpin our daily design decisions.

Architecture, the whole process of organised construction, is collective. Ultimately it is to do with cities, even if we are making a country retreat. Cities can be seen as a living organisms, continually renewing and repairing themselves. In this process of renewal we are agents of intelligent change.

The Air. A paradox at the heart of architecture is that the valuable commodity is not the building itself but the spaces it defines and encloses. It is the space - the shape of the air - in which the value resides. We can hear the air, but not see it.
