Anthony Belluschi became a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects in 2003 and he continues to explore and develop with each and every project.He is concerned with style, structure, place-making and architectural design's role in shaping the retail environment.From Gomez's text:
A tangible, visible sense of quality in the built environment, Belluschi says, helps foster a feeling "of ownership that keeps people coming back to a particular place."That sense of "ownership," he suggests, is linked to the sense of belonging or delight one feels about one's favorite urban places.
