When
we build we are telling the world what we stand for. Our structures
will influence our lives for a very long time. The choices we
have in hand to achieve this influence are legion; no longer
is it a simple matter of bricks and mortar, windows and doors.
New methods, new systems and a seemingly endless demand from
more and more people give the designer fascinating opportunities
at every turn....
Another important factor in our usefulness to clients is our
dedication to the principle of human orientation and scale.
Our fundamental conviction in approaching the design of every
project is the architecture for the people…the greatest
challenge to the architect is to recreate environments for people….Elegance,
grace, style, functional efficiency, economy, and durability
are still important to owners as ever, but today the most pressing
need is for humane spaces in which people can live and breathe.
- Vincent G. Kling, 1969
