Framework is the discipline that holds a project steady before form is decided and long after authorship recedes. It is not an aesthetic position, but a structural one. Coherence comes from the alignment of conditions, material, continuity, and sequence, not from emphasis or expression. Studio Æthica works at this early stage, when decisions carry consequences before they appear as form. Meaning develops through use, repetition, and duration rather than declaration. The result is not a singular expression, but a stable field in which architecture, landscape, art, and public life can take shape without distortion.
