Q
&
A
with Tom Wells
What is one lesson from architectural school that still shapes your work today?
"That ‘Design’ is dynamic. How you solve a problem today could be very different from how you solve that same problem tomorrow.
What’s your favorite part of the design process — and why?
"The ‘What if…” phase, when you and the Client explore all the options and opportunities of a project. It’s exciting/rewarding when you help the Client create a new vision of their project.
What’s a professional value or principle you bring to your work every day?
"Trustworthy
What’s one thing most people don’t realize about your job — but should?
"How many parts there are in a building.
What’s your favorite part of your role at the firm?
"Brainstorming with colleagues.
Is there a building you consider a personal favorite — one that really inspires you?
"Milwaukee Art Museum, Santiago Calatrava &
Ronchamp Chapel, Le Corbusier.
