Say is a universal way for one to express a feeling or spread information. It is the most efficient and easy way for humans to communicate with others. Orally say something is momentary, flexible and co-authored. say could also be textual and physical, as it extends to writing something, then it becomes permanent, immutable and authored. say architects tries to articulate our design as a thought, a message or a story. It can be either virtual and physical, momentary and permanent, flexible and immutable. The way we propose and express become as crucial as the result of the design. Say tries to discover a unique and valuable character within each project with the client. The character then, explored and developed by say through various medium, evolves from a concept or story into a physical atmosphere, the design process becomes a co-authored word or sentence created and said by both the client and us.

Say（说；讲述；表达）是一种世界共通的传达信息方式，也是最高效简洁的沟通手段。Say通常是口头的表述，此时其信息是瞬时、灵活且多作者的；但同时书写下来的物理信息，也可以认为是Say的一种表达方式，此时是永久、固定且个人的表达方式。Say architects认为在设计项目中，表达方式与设计成果同样重要。Say强调空间的情感氛围与人文连结，尝试与客户共同发掘每个项目独特的设计概念，并通过多种方式将最初概念演化发展为最终的物理空间, 这过程也是一个由say与业主共同讲述的故事。
