An admiration of a mundane material reality can develop from the recognition that things just are as they are. There is nothing metaphysical beyond the bricks and stones and, as Peter Zumthor suggests, we can admire a tree for its just being there.

Recently, I began studying the piano again after some 35–40 years. I have found that I am drawn to minor tones, modal form, and dissonant chords—sounds that cause you to pause and wonder where it originates culturally.

Popular images of entropy—a breaking glass, the lowering heap of compost, even our own descent into dust, provide a familiar, but subtly inaccurate thermodynamic picture. Viewed through an informational as well as physical lens, entropy is not a consistent movement towards flatness and uniformity, but something else as well.

Design, including architecture, is situated in a complex web of relationships that encompasses the full physical and social context for life on the planet.

Nothing is without context. Every lawn, parking lot, skyscraper, or national park has been shaped by a myriad of factors natural and humanmade. As a research-driven practice, our work at SCAPE is empowered by the complex layers of systems that act upon a site: rates of urban development, economic shifts, ecological flows of plants and animals, hydrological systems, and circulation systems, to name just a few.
