this is an interview of the seattle firm DEFOREST ARCHITECTS originally posted on the REMODELISTA website. Firm founder John DeForest described his firm's role as "personal guides on great adventures in design." They utilize a series of homework assignments, hands-on model workshops, mockups and site walkthroughs to allow the client maximum involvement in the creative process. The group's office is anchored by a long farm style table laden with bins holding all sorts of tools for brainstorming including model parts, material samples and, of course, LEGOS.
