Category: Fulfilling Environments

Coherent Whole

Problem / Situation

The best buildings have a single defining theme or overarching element.

Solution

Decide what is the single defining theme that you want your building to communicate. It could be love of people, nature, complexity, simplicity, or technical wizardry.

Also decide what emotion you want to foster. Is it awe? Delight? Resentment?
