The work of The Atelier is guided by transparency, openness, and freedom. These values are reflected in the approach to process and collaborations, as well as in the buildings and spaces that result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLogic, intuition, multidisciplinary collaboration, scientific research, and work experience drive the design of spaces that are active, as well as infrastructure and urban networks that respond to atmosphere, ecology, comfort, economy, culture, and the technological context. In working towards the dissolution of archetypical interventions, the experience of these spaces and buildings is valued over typology in order to ground the ultimate value in human existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eProgression\u003c\/em\u003e presents a series of projects and related essays that illustrate the principles that guide the work of \u003cem\u003eFGP Atelier\u003c\/em\u003e.

The final section, \"Ambition,\" suggests ways that the discipline of architecture can evolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately, the goal of this book is to be provocative on multiple levels. It should inspire the reader through the completed buildings executed in often challenging conditions. At the same time, it should be a catalyst for discourse and debate regarding what should be built and how a philosophy guides a practice, the design of future buildings, and the conservation of existing buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470609629420,"sku":"9783775750578","price":165.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783775750578-fgp-atelier.jpg?v=1775222618"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/mara-nuyens.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
