Design Philosophy

I was inspired to become a designer because designers

are the shapers of space and creators of experience.

  

Through design, architects create space

that has expression, evokes emotion, and elicits feelings:

  

                                                          a home embraces;

                                           a jail detains;

                              a church sanctifies.

               Architecture is the art realized through experience.

  

From cabins to skyscrapers,

every individual to encounter a building experiences it

and takes away with them a tiny piece of the building

in the form of       a memory.

 

The less successful buildings

are those which are forgotten

shortly after a person walks away.

But to create an experience through architecture  

that leaves an imprint on the mind of those                 

experiencing it;                            

 

that is the purpose of design.           - Stephanie Brick
