“When you enter a building, you have an experience. It is unavoidable. The architecture creates this experience. The use of materials, space, light, color…it is a mystery. I want my work to impart a joyous, uplifting, life enriching experience for people. This is my purpose and my passion. This is the Art of Architecture.”
- David M. Parker, Architect
