past>present>future!

Architecture is the response to the contemporary socio-cultural model; an adaptation of the past, integration of the present, and prediction of the future.

1. We do not walk around in the costume of Louis XIV - Otto Wagner. Architecture is the development to a refined model, rather than a regurgitation of the past.
2. Contextual parameters need to inspire contextually responsive architecture.
3. Preserving the integrity of the historical context produces opportunities of which inform design decisions.
4. Predictions of the architectures function in the future are integrated into the design, with emphasis on the ability to transform, move, interact and adapt to changes in the social, built and environmental fabric.
