      Deputy Director of DP Architects Ltd disscuses simplicity of the concept of Singapore that was designed by DP Architects, Inc. Architect Tan Chee Kiang believes that architecture is a complex art, you have to deal with all types of complex such as policy requirements, environmental conditions, contextual responses, regulations and laws. His age is complex, one of the challenges that architecture is to keep things as simple as possible. But to achieve simplicity, it is not so simple. To simplify, it is necessary to reduce and to do so, you need to know how to reduce. You must know the heart before it can be inferred.

A recent project I am working on at Larson Brenner Architects gives me another example of how a good designer can add value to a project. The home is in the Design Development stage, so the basic form and plan have been finalized but the details are still being adjusted. The images below illustrate how Larson Brenner utilizes 3d visualization tools (in this case Google Sketchup) to study variations in design to communication options to the client. With better visualization the client is able to make more informed decisions. The image above depicts the completed Schematic Design - a classic midwestern farmhouse exterior.
