Vision Statement

"My perspective is that research and architectural programming are fundamental elements of a knowledge-based approach to planning and design. While programming serves to define the goals and requirements of a project, research - from keeping current with the literature to conducting my own studies on timely issues - provides a body of knowledge that is critical to guiding the planning process and to making informed design decisions. Both architectural programming and research are essential to creating innovative and imaginative design solutions that fully support and respond to our clients' visions."
