- Summary:
- Civility is the hallmark of architecture and plans that emerge from Johnson Fain Partners. Like an ideal party guest, each building holds forth eloquently but is also a good listener, responding intelligently to the land, the street or the skyline. Theirs is a world of ideas not ideology, of practice over theory, of the search for appropriate solutions and added values. They respect context without being imprisoned by it, and they are able to tweak romantic and classical traditions and recombine the elements to create something fresh.
