Philosophy

Jack Eure’s approach to architecture is rooted in his interdisciplinary humanities background. Broad learning as applied to architecture, for Eure, implies a broader scope of design than is customary. Buildings are viewed in relationship to a broader planning context, with roots in interdisciplinary learning. The Citaspel community concept arises out of this idea of intentional community in harmony with nature. Eure’s work is also informed by his background in craft green construction and his love of simple, durable materials and lovely construction details. Like his former employer, Studio Rick Joy, Eure’s work celebrates a critical regionalist approach, where contemporary minimalist architecture is informed by larger scales of time and local history and geology. This perspective helps Jack Eure design buildings, communities and objects that earn enduring favor.
