Firm Philosophy We recognize that we are blessed to be a firm exclusively devoted to the practice of religious architecture. No other building type provides the same challenges, deep personal rewards, and opportunities to serve our fellow man. We believe that liturgy dictates architecture. A religious building's design should reflect the beliefs of its community and the way they worship. The architecture should be an inviting setting for efficiently housing, supporting, and elevating the intended uses and liturgies of the church community. We believe that both the clergy and building committee should understand from the beginning that they bear a serious and important responsibility in the development of a building for worship. We believe that concept determines architecture. It is the client's task to identify the church's physical and spiritual needs. The architectural solution is but a translation of the needs expressed. We believe that the architect, in rendering professional service, has no right to pass judgment on matters of theology. The architect's task is to architecturally interpret the theology that is presented by the church being served. We believe it is the architect's role to serve the client with creative design, expert technical advice, construction cost guidance and utmost professionalism. It is the architect's obligation to challenge, to search, to question, and to ensure that the purpose, as defined, is clear. |
