heartfelt architecture
Our aim is to create architecture/environment that speaks to the heart. We utilize collage to design "heartfelt architecture".
Our theoretical idea is based on Jungfs theory. Jung contends that the ability to create can make what is in the unconscious rise to the conscious level, and that ability can serve in healing. We utilize collage to use this mechanism into architectural design process. We ask clients to express what they imagine as gthe ideal homeh by making collage. Through the collage we are able to communicate in the unconscious level. We make the design concept from the collage.
It is important to make an architecture wich is meaningful for the client. Architect do not have such "god's hand" . We belive that meaningful architecture is made from meaningful communication. This is the reason why we use collage to our design process.
