Ideas

Here is a collection of ideas from recent Fisher ARCHitecture essays and endeavors. Writing is an important part of our process because ideas are the foundation of our architectural practice. We feel the need to write about what we do because words and form inform one another. Writing makes concepts real just as drawings do.

Our ideas result from the elements of a project’s context: At Fisher ARCHitecture, form follows not only function but experience. For us, context is the well that is the source of these experiences. This is not just about place. Context can be physical, it can be cultural, or it can be intellectual. It includes not only demands placed upon the project by the client, the site, the budget, zoning constraints, politics, weather, but also a thousand other factors.

Every post here contains a different investigation. Architectural models, travel, parametric design, personal history, healthy buildings, European architecture, building smaller/building better: No subject is off limits. I hope you find these discussions interesting. Enjoy!
