We show our clients a lot of alternatives. We want them engaged in the process so they ultimately have ownership of the design. At the School of Law, our clients loved the design process, and they contributed in a psychological and spiritual way. So the soul comes out of it. Our job as architects is to assemble that soul into the building as we interact with our clients.
Delight is value.
I think that is something that people sometimes forget. Enjoying the building is enormous value. People are beginning to understand that good facilities mean good businesses. If they are interested in a quality space and a quality building, they probably have a reinvestment attitude. And they value their people.
