Alan Hart lives and breathes systems architecture and elegant inventiveness. He looks for design ideas in unlikely places and is inspired to celebrate the ordinary by making it extraordinary. He does this by approaching design inclusively: he sees relationships between things that at first do not seem to be linked. Without resorting to bifocals, Alan simultaneously sees both the big picture and the small parts and how the two relate. He applies his waking hours to the struggle between creating architecture and making it a relevant part of the community. The built results are profound. His infinite curiosity means he enjoys getting lost in thought; we're still working on drawing the map.
