"The experience of VSBA is diverse, encompassing a wide variety of project types, ranging in scale from decorative arts to city planning. But in their diversity, their projects have a common attribute, a fresh approach to complex and contradictory problems. Because they generate their design from the individual imperatives and opportunities of each project, each of their completed works has its unique identity derived from a carefully consideration of the philosophy of their client, the traditions of the institution, the requirements of the program, and the characteristics of the site. Forgetting preconceptions and immersing themselves in the quality and atmosphere of the enterprise and its site will, they believe, result in innovative and eloquent design. " - VSBA's exhibition catalog, Seoul, Korea
