"Building is a verb"
Yesterday seminar on Troppo Architects at the University Malaya was fascinating. I really enjoyed the seminar. I'm amazed with not only their sustainable architecture design but their principles, philosophy & concept. Geoff Clark was the speaker from Troppo Townsville and you can say he's very sensitive towards the surroundings and thinks beyond the line.
Troppo are committed to environmentally sustainable, responsible architecture and promotes Sense of Place through architecture. The architecture must respond to the climate and the local setting; a dynamic architecture of adjustable skins; that connects the indoors with the out (or should it be the outdoors with the in?) : a non-constant architecture that responds to the morning, the evening, the season, the heat, the cold, the sun & the rain. They believe building should be fun, friendly and forever adaptable.
"Building is a verb, too: we enjoy thinking bout the (human) process of building
developing building programs that incorporate local materials and trade-skills,
artist and community resources: an event
that might add to a community’s social and cultural fabric."
Troppo hires 99 % graduates and people wear very casual attire to work. No formal attire like ties, leather shoes, instead they are advised to work bare footed.

Below are some pictures of their buildings. Simple you might say but when i'm loaded in the future, i'll get them to design my ESD dream house someday.
