The power of building architecture lies in the extent to which it can meet the real needs of end users, clients, and the environment. This can only be achieved by listening closely to their wishes and through intensive collaboration. Encouraging interaction, knowledge exchange, and mutual inspiration enriches architecture and leads to the creation of buildings that guarantee an overall sense of well-being for their users. Such buildings act, as it were, as an energy source for people. However, these buildings cannot become reality without serious budget monitoring and clear agreements; it is the task of all committed team members to effectively steer towards the desired result.
Intelligent buildings that have a real impact on society are those that energize, inspire, create a sense of well-being and stimulate productivity. Their vitalizing properties lead to the creation of new information and improve performances. Intelligent buildings also interact with the most important elements in the designated environment. The direction of the sun and the positioning of the building within its environment is one principal example. There are numerous ways of gaining architectural benefits from the sun that have a positive impact on people’s health, such as the light it produces. Secondary to this is the actual energy it gives which can be used to produce electricity. On the other hand, canopies can being used to protect against the sun to prevent for too much heat production are examples of simple and clever solutions in sustainable energy design. The links between daylight, warmth, energy, and building sustainability are clear, but a building can only be conceived as a clever building when it is able to position itself as cooperative yet independent towards these environmental influences in order to meet the satisfaction of the users.
We believe that human ingenuity and creativity can solve both current and future global problems. In our minds, this means that we as humans have the capacity and therefore the responsibility to make the world a better place. This belief is the primary motivation of our
work. Basing what we do on the knowledge that architecture serves people and humanity, we act and conduct business with the utmost concern for corporate social responsibility.
