Pfau Long Architecture
Pfau Long Architecture
This group of designers continuously seeks new and experimental technological means in their use of building materials, assembly methodology and aesthetic considerations. The firm also seeks to advance the integration of technology, exhibits, graphics and other design disciplines in their approach to create interactive environments that are responsive to people. The project work itself ranges significantly in scale, type and content; it includes exposition, exhibition, educational, residential, multi-unit housing, multi-media buildings, and commercial projects. Contrary to most traditional practices, the firm encourages no separation between the design and production parts of the work process; there is a strong belief that the process of design and innovation must continue during all phases of design and construction while at the same time being relentlessly practical. Hallmark’s of the firm’s work are a frankness of building materials; an ability to achieve interesting, novel results within established budgets; making a strong and fulfilling statement for the client; and a commitment to clarity of thought. This ultimately leads to better living spaces, work environments and the overall understanding of architecture as an extension of the human experience.
