Lighting the blue touch paper, and building well

What makes all three architects creative to the degree and in the way we have seen? Are there any common factors among these three very different architects? It is clear that all three aspire to produce architecture of a high quality. Practices with acknowledged design credentials often consciously 'pursue creativity' and use the entire development process as the vehicle to achieve their architecture. More than that, all three offices are supported by specific structures and cultures in Switzerland. They all begin a design with an implicit understanding that they will be involved all the way through the realisation process and can expect an excellent quality of construction. It is obvious that there is a generational shift, with e2a fully accepting that for each project they must be open to learning new approaches with each new situation influencing how they work.
