A good building gives back to the city and the people.

Building in an urban structure goes hand in hand with a great responsibility. Buildings determine the image of a city through their design and are therefore its calling card. Each individual building also forms the basis for how a city feels to its inhabitants and how they move around in it.

Architects design this cityscape and in doing so must ensure the skilful and clever integration of a new building into the existing context. With their building, they must be able to find an adequate response to the structures of the respective location. An important premise in the design process is to bring people together and to provide them with the structural basis for encounters. Thus, whoever constructs a building in an existing structure always provides for social networking as well. It is true that the function of a building plays a certain role, because this is how it fits into people's lives. But this integration has a lot to do with a certain naturalness of design, because the less the function of a building comes to the fore, the better it is integrated into a city.

When designing, architects must therefore ask themselves what benefits a building can deliver to people and the city through its design alone - today and in the future. If answers to these questions can be found in the design, much has been achieved.
