FOUNDING PRINCIPLES

“Design” is  the “purpose or planning that exists behind an action, fact, or object.”  “Forge” is defined as “to form or make by concentrated effort.” “Craft” is “skill in making.” Our organization is built around a clear principle: to plan with purpose and then make by concentrated effort and with great skill.

We also see the terms “Forge” and “Craft” as mediating between two opposing concepts that are central to the act of making architecture. “Forge” encompasses the raw power necessary to complete any building – harvesting raw materials, transporting and directing large quantities of energy through its labor force. “Craft” entails the finer qualities of design and focus and small scale minutiae that make our building fit for human inhabitation. These terms are also seen as representing the masculine and feminine aspects to our profession.

Scott Ginder, founding principal, is proud to have spent 14 years of his career in the office of Dick Clark Architecture designing small and mid size commercial projects, multi-family, custom residential, affordable housing, restaurants and retail space.

Rommel Sulit, founding principal brings large commercial building design experience to the Forge Craft. His experience has been formed while working in the offices Rem Koolhaas Office of Metropolitan Architecture, Page Southerland Page, Rhode Partners and Boka Powell. His work concentrated on designing large commercial ground up buildings.
