Notable Quotes

● One of the most exciting things about architecture is discovering the project story.

● DNA is going to stick throughout your entire project.

● When you get to the design, it is only suitable that you put as much care into the execution of the design as you did when you walk through the analysis part of the DNA.

● Design Development is where you choose the materials and systems.

● Minimalist is not austere. If that's what you want, it can be, but it is putting things in their place.

● Don't think of a minimalist as small, or don't think of it as austere. Think of it as what the right things are for you.
