I guess I can’t be a great architect. Great architects have a recognizable style. But if every building I did were the same, it would be pretty boring.

Brick
A good detail can rescue an average project.
Respect code and structure early; it will save the concept later
Design the section as carefully as the elevation
Let the site lead the plan, not the ego
Edit the palette until it feels inevitable
Resolve corners; they reveal the real design
Make it work in black and white before color.
Iterate fast, justify slow.
Resolve corners; they reveal the real design
Use constraints as a design tool, not a limitation
Resolve corners; they reveal the real design
Whitespace speaks too.
Reduce moves; make each gesture carry more weight
Align structure, circulation, and light into one story
Edit the palette until it feels inevitable
Make it work in black and white before color.
Don’t design pretty—design with intent.
Typography is your load-bearing wall.
