What is ENSO?
ENSO is a Japanese term for "circle". In Zen Buddhism, an enso is a circle that is hand-drawn in one uninhibited brushstroke to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create. It evidences the character of its creator and the context of its creation in a brief, contiguous period of time.
As architects, we founded the firm on the principle that creativity is not difficult, but it can be profound. If you are in the right frame of mind, it's one simple brushstroke; day after day.
