Architectural Design Philosophy, Approach and Process
Is always unique and a varying mix of:
A. Architecture of the spirit or soul, combining with reverence for the needs, both practical and spiritual of the owner and or user and together with reverence for the site.
B. Architecture is structure and the act of building, and as such structure and building components are allowed expression in the architecture as both craft and art.
C. Integral natural materials, as opposed to synthetic, or plastic materials, are utilized for their timeless qualities, inherent safety and predictability, and their non-toxicity to humans. This is an inherent part of this architects sustainable architectural approach.
Henry Yorke Mann Architect is a member in good standing with the Architectural Institute of B.C., and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada.
