We asked, Andrew Butler answered:
What is the hallmark of great design?
“Great design has a conceptual base that pulls together program, site, technology, budget, and the nature of the institution being housed, in simple, elegant and evocative form. The architecture will always speak to the care and craft put into it.”
How would you describe your collaboration style?
“Open. Unafraid of talent in others. Conversational and explorative. I try to ensure that every team member has a specific role, but also every team member has a voice in the design conversation. Ideas can come from unexpected sources and should be heard.”
