Design excellence

In order to form an appropriate conceptual framework for the project, we begin the preliminary design with both location and content. Location describes all the physical surroundings: access, orientation, weather, and geology. Content includes additional facts about the project: history, function, artistic intent, and most importantly, the people involved. As the design is developed, we revisit the initial conceptualization to remain clear in our vision. This process is not linear: We work around the problem and refine the proposal with the tools at our disposal, re-evaluating design decisions as the project becomes more concrete and the technical aspects of construction are considered. "By preparing clear central ideas we can guide the development of the project and motivate our actions throughout.
