The Power of Great Design
As I travel to our offices around the world, I am struck by the amazing stories I hear of how our talented professionals are producing great design that delivers value.
We deliver value when we assemble multi-disciplinary teams that foster progress. We deliver value when we design complex and integrated building systems that support advanced discovery. We deliver value when we design communities that enrich the ways people work, live and play. We deliver value when we create architecture that enhances our day-to-day experiences, that creates a sense of place that is meaningful to the society it serves. We deliver value when we design systems that are regenerative and restorative, that respect the human impact of our work. We deliver value when we think beyond buildings and innovate across disciplines, geographies and firms to improve the human condition.
We are able to realize these accomplishments through a commitment to design excellence and by embracing the tenets of our design philosophy:
- Elevate the Vision
- Reinvent Smart
- Value People, Place and Time
- Express Integration
- Capture a Bold Idea
I’m proud of all that we’ve achieved, and I think the 39 design awards we’ve received in 2016 — for architecture, interior design, engineering, graphic design, product design and experience design — is an impressive symbol of the immense progress we’ve made. It also leaves me exhilarated by the possibilities that lie ahead in this coming year.
I’m honoured to work with so many dedicated professionals, who work hard to make great things happen in many corners of the world.
