The creation of architecture is the response to the urge to grasp phenomena, to fix the personal experience, and to materialize thoughts and sensations, placing them in the space-time universe where they can trigger action and provoke reactions.
It is vital to achieve concepts which communicate, which give the architecture the ability to speak a compehensible visual language: a language stimulating the imagination and the senses.

To us, the sensory radiation of the building is important, since the architecture speaks directly to the person - as do scents or music. It is the sensual perception and not just the intellectual conciousness which must be addressed.
Our formal experiments with processes - trends, progresses, circumstances, developments - turn towards the need for the unknown and the unexpected, towards freedom and openness.

In the end, form is the result of spontaneity and the organisation of material. It is the result of an ongoing linking of ideas, coming into existence at that moment when energy tips material out of balance. The spaces thus created are stimulating and sensually perceivable. They are permeated by a unique code, articulated in proportions, vibrations, tones and colours. The product is the poetic record of a moment. ./.
