DESCRIPTION:Architecture is the inescapable art and language that surround
 s us.  It is assimilated and employed\, often unconsciously\, in everyday 
 life.  As a language it becomes a reservoir of and conduit for culture.   
 Architects can put words to the subliminal messages which are felt and sen
 sed\, and through architecture\, express and make recognisable moods\, ide
 as and values which range from the pragmatic to the sublime\, from the mos
 t personal and intimate to the extremities of philosophical abstraction.  
 Our approach is selectively inclusive – interweaving historical and cont
 emporary references in order to reclaim architecture’s capacity to speak
  directly to its most and least sophisticated users. The talk will trace t
 he thought which has informed the work of the practice and how this has ev
 olved or endured.
