Architecture
is more than four walls and a ceiling. Architecture not only encloses
and defines space, but it has the potential to affect people's lives
in powerful direct ways. A well-designed building can inspire awe
or create intimacy, intimidate or welcome visitors. Creative architecture
can tell a story, invoke a history lesson, or present a vision of
the future. Like it or not, every building makes a statement. A
skilled architect recognizes this inherent fact and will create
not only a functional, attractive structure, but one which will
also reflect the character and vision of its owner, all within the
owner's economic framework.
