The modern world gives access to information, images and materials which exceed the individuals range of comprehension and enjoyment. The task of retrieving a sense of order from the cacophony of contemporary life becomes the challenge of the architect on the threshold of the 21st century.

We must focus on fundamental strategies, engaging new technologies to celebrate primary enjoyment and permanent phenomena - light, space, and nature, fundamental and unquestionable, these elements survive everything.

The search for these basic qualities is the cornerstone of my practice and approach to architecture.
