Community Thought Leaders

Bruce's work reinforces the ideal that strong communities are America's cornerstone; his career is distinguished by contributions to the built environment to improve the quality of life for a community and its citizens. He has developed long-standing relationships with civic leaders as well as leaders in business and non-profits, and has become a trusted advisor upon whom these leaders rely to bring the collaborative process to bear on the facilitation of community endeavors. Bruce has been instrumental in the creation of performing arts centers, museums, parks, entertainment venues, community centers, hospitals and other public spaces that all enrich a thriving community. He is especially talented at translating cultural sensitivities into the architectural vernacular of a community's most meaningful projects.

David has designed a diverse body of project types, many of which are places of public assembly and communal gathering. Projects encompass performing and visual arts, cultural facilities and civic institutions. His architectural responsibilities reflect his desire to shepherd projects from concept to completion and include all aspects of designing and creating a project, including programming, design, contract documents and contract administration. David notes that it is most rewarding to be involved in projects that serve the community. Social interaction is essential, he says, so buildings become less about themselves and more about places where people come together. These gathering places refocus the idea of community, and our connected journey.
