In the determination of structure we are guided by the principle of utility. Utility determines the organization of space, moderation of the environment and the choice of materials and technology. In the determination of form we are guided by the principle of beauty. We seek to reflect the ideal forms that are functionally efficient, culturally relevant and meaningful.

Design is a creative process of determination of form and structure. Form reflects the archetypal principle. It is the essence or content. Structure is the container or ground that manifests the principle.

Our quest for an architecture that is economically affordable and ecologically sustainable has led us to the exploration of traditional practices and indigenous materials…. We have benefited not only from the skill and wisdom of hereditary craftsmen and master builders, but equally from the expertise of engineers and scientists in the analyses of structures and testing of materials.
