Culture

Progressive architects tend to hold traditional building culture at arm's length — and indeed, it is ridiculous to create modern facsimiles of buildings/building techniques and insult the memory and craft of builders past. However, the level of detail that people enjoy in historical architecture (that they miss in contemporary architecture) can become part of our new architectural culture, if we are willing to draw it and clients are willing to build it. Doon Architecture reflects a societal desire for a deeper, more varied, more profound reserve of meaningful forms in our culture today. Architects expose what is unique and peculiar about their societies in ways that other artforms cannot, integrally conveying multiple intentional and unintentional messages with their buildings. In the many ways that it has changed, architecture still remains a discipline committed to permanence and endurance in an impermanent world. This is the ultimate in sustainability.
