Style
Williams works from the premise that architecture is primarily concerned with simple components such as light, form, space, scale, and material. Coupled with due consideration for scale history and context, this results in buildings that achieve a stark aesthetic balance between his contemporary designs and that which exists whether sensitive and historic, or brownfield A passionate believer in the capacity for architecture and the public realm to enhance the lives of citizens, he has devoted much of his career to designing major projects including Theatres, Concert Halls and Opera Houses, Civic Buildings, Museums, Galleries and Libraries.

Famous quotes containing the word style:
“A man is free to go up as high as he can reach up to; but I, with all my style and pep, can’t get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother.”
—Anzia Yezierska (c. 1881–1970)
“The flattering, if arbitrary, label, First Lady of the Theatre, takes its toll. The demands are great, not only in energy but eventually in dramatic focus. It is difficult, if not impossible, for a star to occupy an inch of space without bursting seams, cramping everyone else’s style and unbalancing a play. No matter how self-effacing a famous player may be, he makes an entrance as a casual neighbor and the audience interest shifts to the house next door.”
—Helen Hayes (1900–1993)
“If the British prose style is Churchillian, America is the tobacco auctioneer, the barker; Runyon, Lardner, W.W., the traveling salesman who can sell the world the Brooklyn Bridge every day, can put anything over on you and convince you that tomatoes grow at the South Pole.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
