Think before you act - understand not only the physical building, setting and context, but also its significance. When you change something, make this a minimal intervention - maybe radical - but no more than it needs. This approach requires a love and understanding not only of forms, materials and methods of construction of the city, but also the ideas, forces, rhythms, human needs of those who shape it.
Energy heating, cooling, lighting and ventilating buildings is mostly avoidable with intelligent design and good management. We have a temperate climate subject to change. Environmental sustainability means intelligent, climate-adaptive buildings with minimal CO2 footprint in construction and in use, good water management, the creative re-use of waste and efficient building practices.
Gathering together enables teamwork, specialised talent, commerce, industry and culture. Architects are intelligent parts of a city: renewing, providing habitable space. Carrying nothing heavier than a pencil, many tonnes of material are deployed to deliver shelter, investment, inhabitation. Architecture is the theatre of daily life.
We live under an ocean of air which fills at high pressure the space between solid walls and liquid body. As a city we all speak and breathe into one connected body of air modulated into squares and streets, alleyways, courtyards and rooms; all interconnected. As we live we make sound, voluntarily and involuntarily, and architectural space comes alive with inhabitation.
