The computer has no soul.
A sketch bares the soul. In its very lack of precision, it allows the essence
of a design to surface. It is the beginning of a conversation, and the talisman
of a design philosophy built on respect.
We respect the unique combination of culture and environment surrounding
any project. We respect every participant in the decision-making process,
no matter how complex it may be. We respect the artists and craftspeople
whose work elevates ours.
Above all, we respect ideas, wherever they originate. So even as our design
process incorporates the highest levels of technology, it remains as fluid as a
sketch, always formative, always open to contribution and candid appraisal.
