Rogers’ dedication to the architectural profession reflects a sensitive, progressive and vanguard design methodology necessary to create a natural fit in many diverse cultures.

Similarly David’s work for Zlote Tarasy in Poland transformed the city center of Warsaw, generating new life from an empty site to a poetic profile in contemporary architectural vernacular. His award-winning work for Fremont Street in Las Vegas, NV and the redesign of Santa Monica Place have both dramatically increased the commercial and social activity within their respective locations.
