Why LIFT?

Spawned from the idea that ARCH-ITECTS have to begin to experiment and implement new concepts and techniques created by other design related disciplines in order to LIFT the preconceived notions of what an architect should be, LIFT architects was created in 2007 by Andrew O. Payne as a multi-disciplinary resource for a new generation of architects. The work on this site is about exploring an array of disciplines that architects rarely utilize to develop new forms and theories about architecture.
