Integration with Nature
We Advocate Integration with the Natural World Rather than an Escape from it.
Buildings are an extension of who we are, creating a lasting impression of how we see ourselves and the future. We subscribe to the theory of biophilia, which says there’s an instinctive bond between humans and the natural world. While it may seem counterintuitive to construct buildings that reconnect users with nature, both science and intuition tell us that we’ll be happier, healthier and more productive if we do so.
Although this connection may be represented as a simple juxtaposition of artificial and natural, or an appropriation of natural form, biophilia represents a true embodiment of natural process. Having already been tested in the environment for millennia, we feel that natural models are the most sustainable strategy through which our clients can bring their hope to reality. We like to call this good design.
