    "Social Architecture"

    is architecture that creates with communities in mind. It operates more in the manner of discovery and
    exploration, rather than breakthroughs and invention. It promotes qualities that create a gentler and more
    harmonious pace of societal development than the peaks and throughs of triumphalist achievement. We
    believe in promoting this as a studio with the idea that humanity’s story must, more and more, be socially
    inclusive than selectively exclusive.
