Design is not making beauty, beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration, love.-Louis Kahn, Architect
Design is art optimizedto meet the objective –Shimon Shmueli
Develop landmark design marvels , that are specifically developed to stay connected to nature in and about the building
Create spaces that stimulates, thrills and almost liberates the designer , the user and the onlooker
Create a work environment that is absolutely unruly , totally unstructured and to breed some real brats of designers , a strange mix of professionals who are both fun and functional
