I believe that the design of the environment has a profound impact on how we behave and that by investing in the process of design thinking, as early as possible, the result will many more values, conscious and unconscious, above and beyond the financial cost of the works. The design process is an enormous recipe of technical and emotional ingredients, that are so specific to the context of each project; so specific and cumulatively have the potential to facilitate and inspire transformation on so many levels. That is why I lead this studio and that is why I believe in design- as a verb and not a noun. It has the potential to create thriving environments that can create the conditions for us all to flourish.
