"Our modern lives are often described as an experience of travel and movement and in fact we use the word 'move' in both its emotive and physical meanings. Our architecture attempts to capture movement by creating 'through spaces' or, 'through views' and consequently a 'flow of space'. These micro and macro architecture projects are not ponderous facades, buying importance by weight of material, they are not so literal, they are rather delicate frameworks freeing our minds and giving space for imagination and interpretation. In this way we build transparent places filled with light from within and beyond, places through which to inspire, to view volume and nature, places to live, work, communicate and to move through lightly... attraverso." - Richard Horden
