Why does everything have to be so blinkin’ complicated?

I hope my fellow architects don’t pull my club membership when I say this, but, yes, architecture can be fussy. Gotta be in the exact center of the courtyard. Needs to be perfectly aligned with dawn on solstice. Surface to be smoother than a baby seal’s rear end. Come on.

When we get down to it, elite Owners and top notch architects are demanding because it’s gotta be right. We can understand that. Your crews understand that. Vinci LLC understands that as well.

Consider this. Fussy architecture is a chance for a builder to prove they can do the job right. Vinci visuals are perfect accompaniment for making such a case. Fussiness is an opportunity if you know what are the key concepts.

Fussiness starts with a simple concept and only is fussy when rubber hits the road. Aspiring organizations, higher purposes, expression of purpose (a sort of advertisement through architecture) are all common forms of “fussiness”. If you can identify why a project is fussy, oftentimes you’ve got a start on the key to winning the job.

It’s been our pleasure to have been involved on many "fussy" architecture projects; some had to deal with the “secrets of the universe” or a masive new architectural statement only Vinci’s client understood, and won the job because they understood.

Fussy architecture is good!
