我们与社区合作的一些经验塑造了我们如何看待我们的工作，我们作为设计师和倡导者的角色是什么。 我们经常从外面带来什么样的情况？ 我们可以从网站学到什么？ 人们可以教我们什么？ 加入我们工作的社区非常重要，所以我们可以获得信任，了解他们的优先事项，价值观，深刻的热情和热点。 这与他们的网站是一样的。 对于问题和网站来说，新的价值观之一是我们可以带给真正强大，美丽和挑衅的新鲜眼光。 这些特征或品质可能非常熟悉，以至于它们隐藏在明显的视野中。 我们讨厌进口。 我们一直在寻找城市已经形成的东西，使城市变得独特，将熟悉的东西变成与本土文化共鸣的奇怪和美丽的经历，创造出永远不会存在于其他地方的生动回忆。

Welcome to Tsao & McKown, an eclectic group of accomplished individuals who share an avid preoccupation with the state of the built environment. Since 1985, over the course of a broad range of projects, we’ve arrived at a series of different responses to the same question: What is architecture today? If not an art object or a personality cult, then what are the possibilities?

Tonkin Zulaikha Greer has a special interest in public spaces, public buildings and “edge” architecture, often providing buildings with roles and uses outside their traditional functions. The crossover between art and architecture is a springing point for a design philosophy, which takes each project as a new challenge, without reliance on established precedents. Constant reinvention of our architecture brings a surprising diversity to the completed projects, with an on-going sense of exploration and discovery. The work is consistently and thoughtfully grounded by appropriateness and sustainability.
