Our
center accomplishes its projects under a unique philosophy based
on user participation. This philosophy permits individuals and community
organizations to actively participate and train in the planning,
design, and construction of their environment. This participation
reveals the involvement individuals and groups have with their built
environment. These involvements are the connections people have
with their community. Exposing these connections as important elements
in the development and maintenance of a healthy community can add
a sense of responsibility and local control to a community that
has previously been negated by the imposition of outside interests,
public and private. |

Beginning
with the belief that our clients know best the needs they wish to
satisfy through their built environment, we listen to their needs
and develop a product which can be fedback and refined in a participatory
interaction between the client and design team. In this participatory
relationship the design team makes their expertise available to
the client and the client brings their knowledge of their needs
to the designer. The refined design is then translated into a form
building and construction professionals can use to produce the design.
The participatory process is an important element in our brand of
design practice. So is the product generated through this process.
Conventional design is usually represented in a static two dimensional
drawing. However, by using computer simulation and computer aided
design tools, we are able to create interactive designs that are
easily modified to reflect solutions produced through the participatory
process of review and recommendation. |
