Listen to the integrated approach of this architect who really lives and loves his practice. David’s passionate and warm hearted approach to design includes ‘deep listening’. This means quietening yourself down to become more present in the moment, with all your senses and awareness. To be in-touch with the site, your clients, your colleagues and yourself. Deep listening stands as a counterpoint to technology, which both speeds up our lives and encourages absence in our immediate reality. When talking or texting on a mobile phone, trawling facebook, TV etc; our awareness moves out of the our immediate environment and experience of time into a kind of timeless zone in cyberspace. Can our method of designing embrace the complexity of our times without becoming onesided, so that our buildings embody our full humanity? see more at www.naturalscool.com David Barrett's studio, based in Boulder, Colorado has been awarded many times by the American Institute of Architects, notably in 2013, he was officially honoured for his contribution to architecture and society on a National level.
