The Short Story

The Eloquent Ideas website  is the loose collaboration of a small group of architects who believe that the best architecture is not only technically proficient but tells a story that subtly influences people in their daily lives.  It causes them to consider their place in the world and perhaps become more accepting, or less complacent, or perhaps just more aware. Inspiration is not limited by size. We cover every size project from a room to a village. Just don’t expect us to generate the normal.
