By understanding the conditions that create projects, the role of architectural methods and techniques can be understood in its larger context. Sustainable, resilient, adaptable are all terms in search of projects. In creating the need for something to be built, planning the making of architecture is the beginning of making change. The design process that takes place elicits changes over time and space. With these tenets in mind, the process of design can provide opportunity for the public life of cities. The importance of situating the meaning of the “project” and incorporating a sense of generosity, connection and playfulness, while optimizing for environmental quality, is WXY's approach to building whether it be inside or outside.
