Frank Lloyd Wright felt that the task of the designer was to design for what people can become--to stretch people ot reaching their potential.  The demands of the Information Age are making it essential that 21st Century knowledge workers function in an environment that challenges them to reach their potential and the potential of their organization.  At the same time, the environment must facilitate that progress.  The designer must see and communicate through the environment the conscious ability of the environment to evolve.  Neither patchwork fixes not wholesale redesign will suffice in today's rapidly changing environment.  As the people within the environment expand their horizons, even as the initial environment is being built, so too must the environment expand its ability to serve.  Individual elements must be created which can be replaced when outgrown with new elements which still complement the entire system.

MG Taylor's Design/Build/Use model inspires our methods,  allowing us to work throughout the project with our clients and contractors to offer the best possible design solutions.  This method extends after the initial construction period to the ability to work with the client to continuously update the environment and to educate client knowledge workers in the practices that make optimum use of the environment.
