讓生活更美好

創作精妙建筑，改善人們生活：

力爭構建布局合理、堅固耐用、舒適宜人又盡顯詩情畫意的建筑；慎終如始行穩致遠，用心建造篤行不??；直面問題迎難而上，橫向思維創新不止；解構建筑說明概要，細節彰顯設計精髓；我們未必接受“不”作為答案；我們堅信，建筑的力量遠不止于單體建筑的維度；我們堅信，建筑是為了讓生活更美好。

場所感：

我們堅信，建筑應當以強大的理念為支撐；這個理念應當從智能和邏輯角度響應建筑功能性和場所感。建筑形式應當嵌入理念的力量。如此而來，客戶得其所需，社會得其應得。

物質、舒適、規模與文化：

我們堅信，城市是最令人贊嘆的人類文化瑰寶之一。我們同樣堅信，城市關乎連接、交通、交流、公共空間和歡樂。我們堅信，將我們的建筑牢牢佇立于環境之中——并非盲目重復，而是深思熟慮后對場地、物質、舒適、規模和文化的回應。

注重過程而非形式：

我們不相信房屋風格的價值；若我們有房屋風格，那應是過程，而不是形式。我們是實用主義者。我們堅信，一座好的建筑物，是一個清晰合理的圖形表達。我們不被時尚束縛，不隨波逐流。研究探索有其獨特價值，當代設計須適應不斷變化的世界。

健康和幸福

我們的首要任務是確保全體員工的健康、安全和福利。我們力求始終統籌兼顧平衡，認真觀察職業發展，同時采取多種舉措，支持整個事務所員工的身心健康。

我們立志保持公開透明，加強協作，鼓勵員工積極參與實踐，引領改進和變革。我們篤信，傾聽大家的心聲，珍視大家的貢獻，此乃構建良好工作關系、事務所取得長遠成功的關鍵。

平等、多元與包容

在經常性員工活動、設計評審、在威廉路美術館（William Road Gallery）舉辦的會談、客戶參與以及公眾參與過程中，我們都能發現，不同背景的人齊聚一堂，碰撞出不可思議的火花。

強大的包容性文化植根于事務所的各個層面，我們確保每個合作對象都感到被重視和尊重。我們恪守平等、多元與包容（EDI）的承諾，在所有工作方法中保持公開透明。

多元化推動創新發展，包容性激發創造活力。我們以多元化人才隊伍為傲：根據最新統計，整個事務所共使用22種語言。因此，這里有著名副其實的國際文化，是生氣勃勃的社交場景，是精彩紛呈的海外文化之旅。我們擁抱平等、多元與包容，設計一個更加生機勃勃的動態世界。

教育獎學金

JMP資助的獎學金由英國皇家建筑師學會和美國建筑師學會管理，確保事務所始終積極參與設計教育。

設立獎學金是為了支持建筑專業學生、畢業生和新晉建筑師，幫助解決英國國內外經濟貧困地區的社區和環境問題。

教育外展計劃

事務所素以生動且富有想象力的教育外展計劃而聞名，通過實施教育外展計劃，深入倫敦各地社區，與年輕學生交流互動。除了與可能將建筑視為未來職業的學童溝通之外，教育外展計劃還為學生提供一個機會，讓他們考慮如何讓優秀設計為當地社區帶來積極影響。

教育外展計劃強化了更廣泛的事務所精神特質——優秀設計創造出自豪感、主人翁意識和包容性，最終改善人們的生活。

Making Life Better

We create architecture that improves people’s lives：

We aim for an architecture that is rational and poetic， robust and delightful; we tread carefully and build with conviction; we tackle problems head on and think laterally; we deconstruct a brief and let a design emerge from close examination of the pieces; we don’t necessarily take ‘no’ for an answer; we believe the power of architecture extends much further than the dimensions of individual buildings; we believe architecture is about making life better.

Sense of Place：

We believe that buildings should be underpinned by a powerful idea; that the idea should be an intelligent and logical response to functionality and a sense of place; and the power of that idea should be embedded in the built form. That way， clients get the buildings they need and society gets the architecture it deserves.

Materiality， Amenity， Scale and Culture：

We believe that the city is one of humanity’s most impressive and precious cultural achievements. We also believe that cities are about connections， transport， communications， public spaces and joy. We believe in locating our buildings firmly within their contexts – not as slavish repetition but as a considered response to site， materiality， amenity， scale and culture.

Process Not Form：

We do not believe in the value of a house style; if we have a house style it is one of process， not of form. We are functionalists. We believe a good building is an expression of a clear and rational diagram. We are not idly blown by the winds of fashion. We believe in the value of research. We believe in contemporary design for a changing world.

Health and Wellbeing

Ensuring the health， safety and welfare of all our employees is a priority. We seek to achieve a balanced approach at all times， in terms of carefully monitored career development alongside initiatives to support physical and mental wellness across the practice.

We aspire to be transparent and collaborative， encouraging staff to be actively involved in the practice and to lead on improvement and change. We listen to what people have to say and value their contributions， believing this is key to great working relationships and the long-term success of the practice.

Equality， Diversity and Inclusion

When people of different backgrounds come together， something incredible happens – we see this at our frequent staff events， at design reviews， at the talks we host at the William Road Gallery or through client and public engagement.

A robust culture of inclusivity is embedded across the practice， and we ensure that everyone with whom we collaborate feels valued and respected – our commitment to EDI is to be transparent in all our working methodologies.

Diversity drives innovation and inclusion ignites creativity. We are proud of our team’s rich diversity of talent： at the last count 22 languages were spoken across the practice， so there’s a real international culture with a lively social scene and cultural trips abroad. By embracing equality， diversity and inclusion， we’re designing a more vibrant， dynamic world.

Educational Bursaries

JMP-funded bursaries administered via the Royal Institute of British Architects and the American Institute of Architects have ensured that the practice remains actively involved in design education.

The bursaries exist to support architectural students， graduates and newly-qualified architects to address community and environmental issues in economically deprived areas in the UK and abroad.

Education Outreach Programmes

The practice is known for its lively and imaginative educational outreach programmes， going out into communities across London to engage with young students. As well as reaching out to schoolchildren who may be considering architecture as a future career， the programmes offer students an opportunity to consider ways in which good design can positively impact on their local communities.

These outreach programmes reinforce the wider practice ethos – that good design creates a sense of pride， ownership and inclusion that ultimately improves people’s lives.
