“Every endeavor of our time grows increasingly aware of nature and environment, of context and community, of people and equity, of information and technology, and of AI, machines and virtuality. These are the pillars.Yet within this expanding awareness lies an equally urgent demand for self-awareness: not only our own understanding of place, impact, and responsibility, but the emerging awareness we embed in our creations; the buildings and environments that sense, respond, and participate in the world alongside us or independently.

We stand at the cusp of a historic awakening, rediscovering our responsibilities as one species among many. In this pursuit, there can be no exception to our métier.”
