Near the end of the first century BC, the architect Vitruvius Pollio asserted in his book De Architectura that a well-designed building must have three qualities: firmitas, utilitas and venustas - that is, strength, utility and beauty. Two millennia later, we at Mark Zinni Architects, Ltd. relish the challenge presented by each client's unique program and site to bring those aspects to life.
In the mid-twentieth century AD, the architect Le Corbusier wrote: Space and light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep. You employ stone, wood and concrete, and with these materials you build houses and palaces. That is construction. Ingenuity is at work. But suddenly you touch my heart, you do me good, I am happy and I say: This is beautiful. That is Architecture. Art enters in. We at Mark Zinni Architects, Ltd. endeavor to created the Art in Architecture always keeping a balance of high aesthetic quality in design, sensitivity to the site, technical acuity and cost-efficient engineering.
