It includes tourist accommodation that requires special care in siting, design, construction and operation so as not to destroy the very resources or qualities that visitors come to experience. We need new ways to create memorable living places while respecting and learning from the given environments.

Do the essentials really well: a compelling idea, clear compositional strategy, environmental responsiveness, constructional coherence and memorable spatial atmosphere.
