Materials And Techniques
The materials and techniques with which we build are our language and our
song. Selected from a wide palette, a composition of textures and colour
they articulate the space and form. While communicating through the romantic,
the decisions are based on sound economic, environmental and structural
considerations. The skill and languages to use the materials, prioritizes human
and natural resources over technology. Minimal processing renewability, the
practical aspects of durability and maintenance, cost and availability, all from
the matrix of values, through which a particular material is decided upon.
The decision is collectively made involving all stakeholders in the process.
