To work effectively with scientists, we must apply a mindset that's very different from that of architects. We must understand what they do daily, how quickly it changes, and what's basic to their future success. Then we apply it to the built environment. We are succesful when we find that convergence of science, process, and creativity, and translate it into architectural practice.
