Great design respects the past and honors the future, this is our responsibility as stewards of the built environment. Buildings should speak to the places they are built, culturally and contextually, but most importantly they should delight. Regardless of style, cost, or technique, people tend to save the buildings they love the most. Without architectural delight, no building can be truly sustainable. Join as we reconsider the importance of good design.
