A building qualifies as Architecture only when in housing its appointed use it touches our spirit. As we see it, the role of the Architect is to embody the practical needs of a building program in a form both supportive of the particulars of that program and the aspirations of those for whom the result is intended. The larger environments of Society and Economy in which we produce have become so diverse and complex that the ideological approaches to form advocated over the last several hundred years have become constrictively narrow.

For the reality of today, historical restoration or new historicist construction may prove appropriate in some places, Avante Guard formalism in others. Conviction lies in social relations and in the spirit, not form or style. Form and style are in the service of the full richness of our needs and aspirations. The quality of things and the richness they bring to our existence in deeply personal. The creation of Architecture requires a multileveled understanding of this fact.

First a building must stand for its inhabitants and their purpose, then it must stand for its public, the people who see it in the larger environment, and finally it must stand time, aging gracefully and supporting a future it cannot know. Architecture makes the world better with the elemental increments of the people who grant it meaning.
