| Our work reflects aspirations as well as
needs. A National Memorial can touch the soul of an individual or a community.
A mixed use project can engage the public and enrich the urban environment in
more than physical ways. Our firm collaborates with many kinds of clients on an
architecture of inspiration, as well as practicality and performance. We work
with owners and other stakeholders to define goals and objectives, shape
programs, ensure economical life cycles and sustainable futures, and explore
creative choices based on a shared understanding. Davis Buckley Architects and
Planners supported the National Japanese American Memorial in Washington, D.C.,
for instance, by drafting the enabling legislation and selecting the
appropriate site, as well as serving as the Memorial's design architect.
One sign we're succeeding: over 25 awards for design and craft, including
American Institute of Architects (Washington D.C. and Alabama) honors; a
Presidential Design Achievement Award; a United States Air Force International
Design Award; two Henry Hering Memorial Medals of the National Sculpture
Society; and two Tucker Architectural Awards.
We continue to seek projects that are engaging, enhance the natural and built
environment, and encourage us to exceed our clients' expectations. So far, our
experience has included National Memorials, museums, educational buildings,
retail and commercial office projects, medical facilities, embassies, historic
preservation work, urban design and campus planning projects, and environmental
assessments. Our geographical reach has expanded from Washington, D.C. across
the U.S. and to Lebanon, Abu Dhabi, and Saudi Arabia.
Our aspirations have no fixed boundaries.
