“Around the world, architects are challenged to infuse new forms with the legacy of the past and the spirit of the place. In an age of globalisation, this has become a critical issue, especially in emerging nations that have embraced generic modernism in their race to catch up…. Morphogenesis abstracts the vernacular with no resort to mimicry, and it achieves sustainability by an intelligent use of traditional materials and techniques…” –Michael Webb, Architectural Critic and Founder, ArchigramGroup
