In understanding the program of a fire station, this project represents much more than a pragmatic excursion into problem solving, but instead focuses on the elements which give my architecture life. The notion of advertising the structure from within, the presence of cores to designate specific places, the appreciation of the quality an internal, open space provides, the love for lasting materials and the importance of the site all play a part in the composition of my architectural palette. The combination of these five levels of thought serve as the catalyst to my work and as all architecture must strive to achieve, they embrace and enrich the human condition.
