Brian Reiff Architect

It is the process of design that defines architecture and contains the voice of the architect. During the process, a system of order is discovered that is used to transform ideas and concepts into buildings. This system is organic and unique, it adapts to specific conditions and it processes information from many sources. It is written in the language of geometry and out of this system, a landscape grows. It is the genetic code of a building. It can be isolated and analyzed by itself, but it is the building that is the body of architecture, in which lives the experiences of many.
