Local on a global scale
Article Abstract:
Architectural firm Gensler Managing Director Tony Harbour believes that the practice is local but has a global perspective. He places strong emphasis on having fun, making money, producing good design and client retention. He feels that the firm does not really have a distinctive style, as each design is adapted closely to the project's location and surroundings. He believes that the firm should not be afraid to adopt an innovative approach.
