the meaning of "elemental"
then...
The ancient Greek philosopher Empedocles taught that everything in nature was made up of four basic elements — air, earth, fire, and water.
Each element had unique properties, and each represented different aspects of nature and of the human mind:
- air represented flexibility and agility;
- fire spoke of energy and action;
- water symbolized fluidity and change; and
- earth stood for firmness and solidity.
...and now
Modern science has changed our understanding of the physical world, but the idea of the Four Elements remains powerful today.
With a strong background in the classics as well as in business and technology, ec+g appreciates the connection between the ancient idea of the Elements and the modern world.
Elements are the basics, the pieces from which everything is built. ec+g is committed to mastering the fundamentals, not just once but continually — this means keeping up with vital innovations in technology and technique, while never forgetting underlying principles.
Finally, the Four Elements reflect ec+g's philosophy and approach:
- air — being flexible and agile in meeting challenges.
- fire — putting full energy and enthusiasm into each job.
- water — taking a fluid approach, using a variety of methods and skills, to help clients meet their needs.
- earth — bringing a solid foundation of skills and experience to every task.
