“The quality of the buildings we occupy has a huge impact upon how we learn, live, play and interact with others. Good design is about priorities. It is about the evolution of an appropriate and relevant design solution; it is about rehearsing and re-establishing the iterative and cyclical stages of design development; it is about testing and re-testing. Good design is about transparency, empathy and ultimately ownership. Good design makes a difference.”

“It’s an immense privilege to be involved in the design of community and cultural buildings, especially educational buildings. Good design positively impacts not only pedagogic efficacy and learning outcomes, but student and staff welfare, recruitment and retention, and a host of organisational, operational and environmental efficiencies, not to mention community spirit and identity. Great design takes account of all these attributes and finds opportunities to delight.”
