A collaborative spirit is an outgrowth of the belief that the most successful design projects are those which celebrate the goals of the client rather than the signature of the architect. Essential to this approach is an inherent ability to establish a close working relationship - a partnership with the client to develop goals, program parameters, building solutions and management strategies in a framework which assigns a high priority to collaboration. True collaboration suggests the opportunity to participate in the comparative analysis of a number of reasonable alternatives.
