. philosophy
i understand architecture as a process, which is constantly developing, yet, for me, the principles as defined by vitruv in ancient times are still valid in the future
firmitas | firmness, stability construction, materiality and technology must prove themselves on a long-term basis. they should work together in such a way that they stay valid under changing conditions and varying use |
utilitas | appropriateness, usefulness finding solutions to fit the cultural, social, functional, ecological and economic needs of the owners and users |
venustas | grace, beauty architectural creations should be shaped by the particular identity of the place and the multiplicity of the task. the architecture language is to achieve maximized expression by minimal means |
