What do we do?Architecture… but what is architecture?
In the words of Vitruvius…
Firmness or structural integrity and durability.
Commodity or spatial functionality, fulfilling its purpose.
Delight means that the building is not only aesthetically and visually pleasing, but also lifts the spirits and stimulates the senses.
