Designing is like navigating.

In designing I attempt to mark out not only of the surfaces or places that only
exist in my imagination but also of many bonds we settle toward each other and
our environment. Designing a space means finding an entry toward a creative
instinct and a firm resolution at once.
Explorations in
Colors,
Shapes,
Functions
: Prior to 2004.

In designing
rationally or
improvisationally,
I ask the same thing.
Is there any reason why
this sholud not be tried?

rational
concrete
goal-oriented

When an instinct and a resolution accompany each other, they power

all the endeavors to protect, develop and deliver contemporary expressions and intelligent systems
that materialize how we might live life more aesthetically and ethically. Conflicts of interests are
anticipated, so peridoic acts of reconciliation beween opposing sides are welcomed.

no combustion is ever producing 100% CO2,
the calculated carbon avoidance using the
formula I have given you is a best case
scenario for combustion and the reality is
that you are avoiding emissions of CO,
methane, particulate, etc. The heat that
this burning would generate is also avoided,
though we don't often talk about the actual
heat from the fire as a contributor to global
warming. There is also of course the avoided
emissions compared to a conventional brick.

Worked in a team of six to create this proposal, and as the result

it was awarded a hundred thousand dollars to continue research and development of three building systems
that dramatically reduce the use of portland based cement while increasing hurricane resilience of structures to be rebuilt or built anew. 12
