The typical unresponsive approach to design is the fuel for the search for a moreresponsible approach to design at all levels. Reactionary housing elements, integration into the site, adaptation to contemporary family dynamics, integrationof technologically advanced building and construction techinques.

The proposed method is one that uses opportunities and constraints to its advantage.Immersion into the site and the reorganization of the typical traditional four-squarecraftsman to fit this site is one of the major formal design moves.

Due to traditional overlays, gabled roofs are a mandatory feature on any new construction. The roof, which is a predominant figure in most American houses, begins to conform to and respond to not only what happens on the interior of the house but it also responds to external forces and context. It too begins to integrate water catchment, rainscreens, and insulated panels into its form and design.

Joshua Perez_

I believe myself to be ahead of my own time, experientially. The experiences I have shared in life, reach far beyond my own expectations and have truly made me who I am today.For better or worse, my path through life has made me a more conscious person as well as designer. My intuition and abilities to search for opportunities and dialogues, not normally found in connection with each other, is what fuels my desire for architecture.

In design, I never fully know what to expect. This allows me to enjoy the processes and affords me the opportunity to discover something new.

I feel collaboration, inside of and exterior to the design fields, is essential and should be an established ‘tradition’ that can be as dynamic as any social process. After all, the architectural design process leads to social interventions and solutions.
