Formation of a Vision

Every architect understands the concept of space and its relationship to the people who will utilize that space. In the every day world the most common usage is utilitarian and functional. When it comes to designing a space for worship, the intangible elements of design become more important and must integrate themselves into spirituality, as well as functionality. This effort is a unique discipline that takes decades of understanding to master. We at David Austin Smith Architecture have dedicated ourselves to this effort.
