Our Purpose

To lay the foundation for the future by passing Bill’s passion for creating spaces that have purpose and function that embody an environmental and healthy atmosphere that impacts all who experience the space either individually or as a community. To sustain Bill’s belief that architecture is more than a career, but a lifelong passion meant to be lived and breathed and fulfilled by developing structures to be used and appreciated by many generations to come.

OUR VALUES

  • Bill often said, “All are welcome at the table. We cannot achieve greatness or impact alone. It takes a community of people to come to the table.” The Foundation creates a table of diverse perspectives of architecture and design that welcomes inclusive and diverse thoughts and designs that benefit the people and the places where they live, work and play.

  • Bill believed that investing in people was the most basic truth. We believe as Bill did that a better society is created when people interact to enjoy their environments and exchange ideas.
