Every project begins with a question, of site, of program, of history.
Not answered with a form, but with an idea: a set of rules drawn from the project's own constraints, operating across program, site, proportion, and material.
The idea is found through iteration and applied with consistency, so every decision in the building answers to it.
Architecture is what emerges when those rules operate, a facade, a courtyard, a section.
Architecture is the operations of program and space.
