“We shape our buildings, and afterwards our buildings shape us.” – Winston Churchill
Churchill’s observation can easily be extended beyond buildings to all things—from the phone in your pocket to the largest city. Good design is about making the world a beautiful, functional, safe, equitable, and sustainable place—now and into the future. Through creative problem solving, purposeful design tackles such challenges as poor healthcare, substandard housing, urban development, environmental degradation, and disaster mitigation.
