the idea
“…
to give people enjoyable everyday surroundings - through
systematic use of suitable building materials – by respecting the local
climate
– and with a feeling for form, structures, and the beauty of planned
space”
Bill Toomath
There
is
a
whole
world
of
building
-
for all of us to live our lives in,
to give our own meaning to,
to fill our lives.
One
should be able to
experience the volumes of a building and their arrangement in a way
that
reinforces our connection with our loved ones, with our place on the
earth.
These
responsibilities
are
the
essence of the
relationship between the
architect and the building owner, and are at the core of making place -
fitting
forms and spaces to people and places.
