We believe without people, the buildings and spaces and places we work in and around are essentially irrelevant.  With people however, buildings have a voice: The history they embody, the culture they carry forward.  Every building has a story to share.  Stories connect us to people, to places, and sometimes to the hopeful promise of a bright future. The deeper these connections, the greater the value – civic, social, cultural, emotional, spiritual, financial, ancestral – and value is a great motivator.  When we’re motivated, we take action, and action is a necessary ingredient for change.
