Architecture is a service, not a product.
Architecture is a service, not a whim or a fancy.
Architecture starts from the users, not from the Architect. This means, listening to clients and users is indispensable and the service needs to be created from them, with them, and not imposed on them.

“We would like to express our gratitude for the time you invested in helping us get to a clear picture.  Anna and I really appreciated the call we had with you, your responsiveness, and the great empathy that you exhibited throughout – we certainly felt very “well taken care of” when engaging with you.  On the practical side, we especially appreciated that there was the option to obtain robust bottom-up cost estimates for the construction itself (not every design architect offers this).”
