About Architecture
Architecture creates relationships between a space and the intent of that space's usage.
To structure the space for its purpose, architecture supplies reference points, supports, and guides that manage approaches to the space and, likewise, manage interactions and occupancy within the space.
By actively programming the relationship of a location and a purpose, architecture expresses strategy through supportive facilities. These facilities may be conceptual or material, but in both cases they anticipate and amplify the compatibility of certain actions and choices with a probable realization of a goal.
"Probability" in architecture is a matter of special importance, as an architecture always strives to solve the problem of reconciling stability with uncertainty, or intended effects with unintended effects.
