Since 1979, there are more than 60
buildings in DC and the metropolitan
area that I wrote the project manual,
including National Geographic
Society with SOM. In downtown DC,
it is hard to stand on a corner and not
be in front of or looking at one of my
buildings. I don't do th...Expand for more
e design, but i
do all the materials work and guide
the designers on what is possible
and practical. In areas of entrances,
lobbies and their finishes, it is the
quality control of the my work that
sets the level of quality for the project.

development of ancient cities and
