    "Architecture Is The Thoughtful Making of Space.": Louis Kahn

    Good design is driven by underlying ideas that organize and give meaning to experiences, not just physical interest. An idea is a mental structure that allows us to understand information. Without underlying ideas, architects are merely space planners who decorate space rather than create architecture, as architecture resides in the embedded sensibility and DNA of a building that infuses its whole being.

    Good design solutions are not merely

    physically interesting but are driven by


    underlying ideas. An idea is a specific
    mental structure by which we organize,
    understand, and give meaning to
    external experiences and information.
    Without underlying ideas informing
    their buildings, architects are merely
    space planners. Space planning with
    decoration applied to dress it up is
    not architecture; architecture resides in
    the DNA of a building, in an embedded
    sensibility that infuses its whole.
