Over the last four decades, William Rawn Associates has curated a practice of listening first. It is our professional responsibility to engage the communities we serve by fostering public dialogue that informs our understanding of a building’s context, civic landscape, and social and environmental needs. Through active listening and building consensus, we pursue a contemporary vocabulary that links our designs inextricably to their settings—creating timeless, beautiful, and warm places that promote interaction, cultural accessibility, and diversity.
