Skyway

The skyway represents who we are, and what we want to be as a business. It requires a point of view that sees possibility instead of obstacle. There are always plenty of reasons to say no, but there are more reasons to say yes. Often, when a decision is placed before us we do not have all the data required to be absolutely sure. A new idea does not immediately reveal all the potential ramifications. New ideas move us to action with a force that is hard to quantify, but is fundamental to our business. We are driven to the uncovering of ideas and the creation of new relationships: new relationships between building and landscape, new relationships between people and space. The skyway requires a new idea: a new use, a new environment, a new relationship between object and person, passage becomes place, bridge becomes building.
