"The formation of a process brings with it inherent ideas of aspiration, value, and intent. Going beyond usability of space, cost, and constructability - bare minimums in undertaking these conversations - the studio believes that a design process must consider ideas of life, livability, and culture; communicating relationships with the surroundings, and becoming lenses for the past, the present, and the future."

"Spaces have the ability to become signifiers of something outside of themselves - not always by virtue of their design, but rather by virtue of the values that are embedded within them, and the patronage that they receive. And then, they become emblematic of a community; of an ethos."

“The idea of patronage has evolved over time. Patrons carry with them not only the ability, but also the responsibility of contextualizing the work by the manner in which it is represented and exhibited.”

"How does one, in a densely planned area of the city, create a public park that not only tells the history of the development of the city, but also creates spaces that allows the public to reclaim a city centre? How does one create processes of collaboration while communicating a collective vision?"

"Spaces that allow and facilitate the exploration of the urban fabric. Spaces that allow experimentation on form. Spaces that are tellers of history, time, ideas of community, and more than that, punctuate these ideas. A space that is able to become a representation of all of this. A space that is able to represent much more."
