Architecture begins from an interior condition. Architecture is driven by elements essential to the discipline: geometry, enclosure and structural logics. The process of making architecture is in the refinement, articulation, and adaptation of a component system based on the primary elements. Architecture is not about creating the new. It is about innovation in thinking and technique. Cultural, social, and economic conditions are secondary. Architecture must start from within, and engage in social and cultural conditions from this position. External factors, rather than generating form, necessitate a strategic response, driving the evolution of the system. The manner in which the system adapts is scripted by the structural logic of the components. It is the performance resulting from the adaptation of components that gives architecture specificity.

structural logic of component system + strategic response to events > adaptation > specificity performance effect

Working in a digital environment orients focus on the essentials of architecture - form, how it defines space and produces effect. With the introduction of time, architecture is dynamic, not static. Architecture is experienced through effect, not function.
