"We do have to represent the wishes of our clients, and I'm sure that's reflected very much in the design of the Hobbs Taylor lofts. It certainly was the case with the Arts Center." - David Dunfield, project manager for Lawrence's GLPM Architects, which designed the Lawrence Arts Center at Ninth and New Hampshire streets (above) and is designing the addition to the old Arts Center building at Ninth and Vermont streets. Dunfield says the latter project (below) will be "in the style of our time" so as to complement rather than imitate the building's Depression-era architecture.
