"It is hoped that students who pass through the doors of the Boukunde building are not seduced by trends and forms of an inappropriate West, but to practise the simpler qualities supporting responsible design that my generation spoke of but mostly failed to apply, such as designing to suit the site, working with the weather constraints, topography, surrounding structures, and shared heritage, views, human scale and sustainability initiatives...
...but most importantly, to practise good manners"
