02 — PROLOGUE

Spaces, considered before built.

From small houses to libraries, cathedrals and university facilities, PA Architectural Design Group has designed spaces that hold the texture of everyday life. We think of essence before fashion, of use before form.

000 — PHILOSOPHY

There is what we call work on paper — drafting and drawing. It is the act of sketching plans, elevations and perspectives to imagine form and function, yet at times the work earns its meaning in the effect expressed on the paper itself.

Just as a design — born of countless deliberations, experiments, detail and material —

is judged by its users once complete, the work on paper too

deserves to be seen, judged and given meaning through another lens.
