w o r k t o w a r d s d e s i g n e x c e l l e n c e . . . Why design matters...                   "Everybody experiences far more than he understands.  Yet it is experience, rather than understanding, that influences behavior." Marshall McLuhan ………..…design can be used as a tool to create environments that are responsive to climate, location and human needs. Spaces that enhance the level of visual and thermal comfort comprise of materials that are non- toxic and natural, can positively influence the physical and mental health and efficiency of its users. …………………………………… at a emotional and aspirational level design must symbolize who we are and express what we hope to be….. An appropriate response has the potential to change what we become.
