This work is undertaken in the belief that the respectful use of local renewable and nonrenewable building materials, to build structures intended to last, using traditional methods and models, offers a chance to build in harmony with the our environment, to ennoble human labor by lending value to pride in craftsmanship, and, in the wider social context, to kindle a more profound respect and appreciation for the built environment and its relation with the natural world.
