The undertold story of Architecture is the story not many have heard. Craftsmanship and design and thoughtfulness behind every object, plant, animal and planet every created. It is the story of life and beauty. It is the function that is inherent in all that we touch and everywhere we go.
Using creative abilities when work fails to fulfil the need to build & design is essential for survival as architects. My creative outlets are painting, drawing & sculpture away from the studio & the drafting table.
Watercolors, colored pencil, photography, bonsai, pottery or sculpture. I never lack ideas for the next project.
I also tend to create personal building projects, for example building a Sukkah for family worship involves the children in this pursuit as well.
Structural design & programming was derived from the in depth analysis of massive amounts of data.
Our team boiled the data down to three simple charts & interpreted them into the architecture.
The data included:
1. User Groups assigned colors for representation.
2. Program Analysis including relative user groups.
3. Analysis of activities where user groups interact.
4. Analysis of amenities required for each group.
5. Travel Distances amenities.
Explored potential forms for the building, driven by the site limitations & requirements for each user group.
We designed the spaces & circulation to encourage interaction between certain user groups. There was also a need to maintain a required separation so that one group would not impede the activities of another.

The exploration of potential forms for the various components of the building was driven by the needs of the various site limitations as well as the requirements for each specific user group in each section of the building.
While designing the spaces and circulation paths in such a way as to encourage interaction between certain user groups there was also a
