02 · Project pathway
Five considerations that connect a project’s intent with its physical form.
A strong foundation begins with clear intentions.
Site, purpose and technical requirements shape the route from an initial brief to a finished place. These themes frame the questions to resolve together.
Begin with what needs to be built, where it belongs and the people it will serve. Establish the questions that the project must answer.
Bring the ambition into focus through proportion, circulation, material and the relationship between building and place.
Translate the agreed direction into coordinated information. Resolve details before they become decisions on site.
Give the design physical form through a deliberate sequence of work, with attention to the junctions that define the finished building.
Consider the completed place as a whole, from the largest space to the smallest detail, and the life it is intended to support.
