"People first paid honour to a spot and afterwards gained glory for it. Men did not love Rome because she was great. She was great because they had loved her."
GK Chesterton
Orthodoxy, as a building philosophy, is the commitment to long held truths. It is the realization that we are a part of an ongoing conversation and we ought to turn an attentive ear to those who came before us. In listening to those past builders, we come to trust the concepts that receive continual affirmation. Following their example, we seek to build structures that endure generation after generation. Creating such structures requires three elements: hardy and durable materials, skillful construction methods, and artful design and detail. We commit ourselves to these essential truths.
Solid materials, productive craftsmanship, robust art.
