Context Sensitive Solutions

The principles of Context Sensitive Solutions are critical to all of our planning and design projects. To truly develop the best solution for any project, one must understand the "Genius Loci" or spirit of the place. Once the planner and designer understand the physical, cultural, and historical make-up of a particular place, alternatives to solving problems and creating better places for people to live, work, and play have a fundamental context within which alternative solutions can be analyzed.

JMT approaches every project with the philosophy that transportation projects or building facilities are an integral part of the community. As stewards of these projects and facilities, JMT works with clients to ensure that our projects achieve the following goals:

the needs of all users of the facilities are addressed
the solutions are fully accessible and address safety for all users
the process is collaborative and inclusive of all stakeholders
the needs are balanced with the environmental, aesthetic, historical and cultural needs
the design team utilizes a holistic multi-disciplined approach
