with great clients to deliver excellent
projects, on time and on budget.
“I also see myself continuing to grow
a public advocacy model that shows
that architects care about the entire-
ty of the built environment, from bike
lanes to buildings, and that all aspects
of our society can be improved think-
ing through the lens of architecture
(design thinking),” continues Drees-
sen. “I see the firm growing as we take
on projects in a variety of scales, sizes
and models, to challenge the assump-
tions that “architects draft plans” to
show that #architectscanhelp and
to be recognized in the Ottawa Val-
ley, and the National Capital Region,
as the go-to firm for innovation, ideas
and excellence. And that as time pro-
gresses, that the firm become known
nationally as leaders in the field,
blending traditional practice, advoca-
cy, research, writing, publication, in-
novation and leadership to show that
#architecturematters.”
