The following is my architectural creed. It is a statement of my foundational beliefs regarding architecture. You may agree, you may not. But this statement underpins all my work.
AN ARCHITECTURAL CREED
david locicero | architect
I believe in ARCHITECTURE:
In the power of architecture to ehance and improve our lives;
In Modernism, rooted in our time + cognizant of the past.
And in the need to make PLACES not spaces;
Buildings, especially our homes, are made for habitation.
All buildings have both purpose and meaning for owners, users and passers by.
Architects must make honest buildings, using elemental materials:
masonry, wood, metal, concrete, and glass;
We must exploit natural light in all its variety.
Architects must make simple forms and volumes with clean lines that are enhanced and elaborated using
abstraction
representation
repetition
rhythmn
structure
path
prominade
walls
columns
doors
windows
floors
ceilings
roofs
views in and out
texture and color
and, yes, decoration.
There is good and bad design, but no design is worse than indifferent design.
Bad design that strives is at least trying.
Design that doesn’t care is the worst of all.
Approach every project with passion and care.
If any of this resonates with you, we might be a good fit! Feel free to send me an email, or book an initial consultation using the form on the right hand side of this page.
