Design Philosophy
Design is an integral part of life. The shaped environment, that inturn shapes us. Who we are as a nation, and who we are as people. The footprint of mankind has been a reckless abandon of unsustainable design. Now, at the point of no return design has to be one with the environment and end its long history of oppression on nature.
Design has shaped my social philosophy, as it challenges the masses direction and quality of life. My design philosophy is much in the same as my social philosophy. A seamless relationship to the natural world is what I strive for in design. The incorporation of such natural elegance of the organic lines found in nature. I find the answers in the balanced ecosystem. Where the interior design, or architecture, becomes part of the cycle of health, and not the focal point. It becomes a peace to the puzzle and not the whole puzzle. Where peace can be found in the comfort of your own home, as if it were the forest floor.
A large part of blending with the environment is repurposing what we have already created instead of creating more, create less and it will become more. Design to me will work with nature in a symbiotic way. A philosophy on design is a philosophy on life, in kind.
