DJA is a collaborative enterprise of various creative disciplines. Working with a variety of media and a host of talents, our ambitions are to help people realize their ideas spatially.Whether a conversation between spaces and people stems from its use (programmatic or cultural), a phenomenon of the site (climate), a technological possibility (structure, material) or some other driver of desire – usually all of the above – these considerations all serve as a challenge. Our architectural ambition is that type of experiment: one in which the potential of establishing an exchange between people and spaces could lead to a novel form of intimacy. For that possibility to be there is essential.Beyond this, the opportunity to test those ideas and expand what you are is a part of what can happen.Dieter Janssen is the director, a Member of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and an Architect in the province of Ontariohttp://www.dieterjanssen.com
