About 

Architecture is the ultimate art form – the possibility that a creation constructed from an inspired thought could endure for hundreds of years is what fuels my work.  The ultimate commendation one can receive in architecture is for the viewer to not be able to imagine a site without its building.  In this manner, the edifice transcends time and vogue; it is elevated to a position of permanence.  This quality of perpetuity is something that I aspire to in all of my endeavors.
