Social Architecture

We believe in architecture that creates communities. Social architecture allows us to practice our idea that humanity’s story must, more and more, be socially inclusive than selectively exclusive. This philosophy operates more in the manner of discovery and exploration, rather than breakthroughs and invention. It gears us to create a gentler and more harmonious pace of societal development than the peaks and trough’s of triumphalist achievement.
