What makes PERIS Hill, PERIS Hill?
PERIS Hill will soon celebrate its fifth anniversary. A celebration that will coincide with the release of a five-year case study that attempts to document how PERIS Hill was conceived, built, and refined in practice. Even in draft form, the case study already clearly identifies something that has become increasingly apparent over the last few years: what we have created in PERIS Hill is less a rigid formula, and more a living system. A model that at its core, relies on the presence of a number of foundational approaches for form, strength, flexibility and resilience. Simple, easily articulated approaches that, when taken together, form something innovative, coherent, and (importantly) replicable.
