Succesful architecture is that which comes from a mutual understanding between Client and designer and from the ability of both parties, whether consciously or subconsciously, to express their aspirations and effectively communicate their ideas and expectations. Design is both a process and a means of communication, it is a synthesis of the emotional and the practical, balancing aims and constraints to produce a building which can elicit pleasure and enjoyment and which has context within its surroundings.
Our appreciation of a building derives from our body’s total response to and perception of the environmental conditions which a building affords. Understanding this phenomenon, combined with the ability to bring together sometimes disparate elements in a complex design process is what makes for success in any architectural project, however large or small.
