The Meeting is actually like the Gunpowder Meeting, or some of the earlier American Quaker MeetingsThe long house form is something that was traditionthat's what I started with as an idea. But then making this in terms of the sizing and the use that was asked for by Live Oak Meeting- I mean it's a very traditional form, except it's convertible.

People don't understand this: Ideas are important, but they're not essential. What's essential and important is the execution of the idea.

What's original is the way you re-use ancient concepts.
