Note

• "As we look to the future, we increasingly recognize the virtuous design/research cycle that connects our daily work with our ongoing research investigations. As our professionals design and deliver projects, questions emerge that fuel new research investigations and ultimately lead to new insights. These insights and the high-performance solutions they enable are the foundation of Gensler's culture of design innovation. As the world continues to change--becoming increasingly urban, increasingly connected, and increasingly fast-paced--the need for creative, research-based design solution has never been greater"--V.1, Page 3.
