We apply ecological principles as a basis for our approach to planning+design. Application of these guiding principles to organize environments that meet mankind’s social desires within economic opportunities, results in environments that promotes people to enjoy fulfillment in life.
Life on Earth is one of the great gifts man has been blessed with. The way of successful living is determined by application of both natural and man-made laws. Obedience to these laws establishes the foundation upon which all worthy achievement rests. The life we enjoy is provided by the sun’s wide spectrum of electromagnetic energy, including that narrow section of sight-enhancing visible light that illuminates our World, and is the source of energy that fuels photosynthesis which provides air, water and food upon which all living things depend.
Ecological systems and related sciences, including the hydrologic cycle, carbon cycle, climatology, geology, topography, form a network of influences that must be understood to perform responsible environmental planning+design services.
