"Figure out what's important, give it form, and make it work".  That's a direct quote from a college professor I had in graduate school design.  The formula is one of the most important lessons I have ever learned about the process of design.

There are so many internal and external influences that come to bear on any given design project that the journey through consultation and research can sometimes obscure the destination.  I agree with my professor that at some point much of what is learned through ground- work and study about a project must be laid aside and the most important discovery(ies) must drive the process forward.

The form a project takes is it's visible, physical manifestation of the design process.  The re-presentation of what a project building or landscape ultimately wants and asks to be is where the true creativity of interpretation on the part of the designer lies.

Making it work is the thoughtful process of ensuring that vehicles and people can easily move through the site or building, that it is safe and has adequate illumination, that storm water flows away from it, and so on.
