Build less - slim the program

Build ON less - reduce the footprint, grow trees

Build in and out - dissolve barriers between inside and outside

Build slender - reduce mass, get slim, make natural light and ventilation possible

Build robust - lets go to ruin gracefully, reduce the need for maintenance

Build light - lightweight structures, layers and skin: touch the earth lightly

Build on what's leftover - adapt the existing, bring history to life

Build ordinary - seek out the beautiful in the everyday, regular is the new special

Build safe, not sterile - kill hazard, don't kill joy

Build local - feed off local material, local skills

Build interim - affordable now, grow later

Build hope, not ambition - architecture should offer hope to grow, not be heavy with ambition

Build need, not greed - necessity is cool, excess sucks
