Extraordinary places can be designed and built

Places can be become extraordinary by providing

new, fun experiences

Art has a role to play - especially art that is located in the

environment of the everyday

Beautiful new architecture can be valuable

But economic advantage and civic and social change can also be

realized by enabling the expression of one value in particular

Give people opportunities to be who they want to be

Enable the innovation of products and services that support

local economic growth

Cultivate the local

Don’t let your competitors define you

“We have idols but no models to follow. You have to define your own model.”

Nicolas Ghesquière, Balenciaga
