I first heard about Klaus roughly fifteen years ago through colleagues who described his success as an early advocate of smart growth and more livable communities. While he was ahead of his time in focusing on the importance of issues that are now central to our profession, what merits Fellowship is how Klaus sought to make a difference. He worked tirelessly—and successfully—to inspire his colleagues and encouraged Baltimore AIA and architects across Maryland to become advocates for policies that reflect our values as a profession. In his own quiet and reasoned way, Klaus advocated in his city and state for smart growth and sustainability that now stands as a model for AIA chapters around the country.

DHCDC is implementing the neighborhood's community revitalization plan that includes residential and commercial developments. Arch Plan, Inc is providing architectural design and contract administration services in a professional manner that is enabling our agency to make progress in very difficult economic times. Arch Plan has demonstrated commitment to DHCDC's organization development goals by providing excellent recommendations for design and construction administration of our projects.
Arch Plan's staff members are very responsive and complete their project tasks on time. This has resulted in our staff achieving project deadline and the agency gaining financial resources to continue development activities. Our agency would strongly recommend Arch Plan, Inc to any organization requiring professional architectural services.

I think Mr. Philipsen deserves a bonus for his stellar crowd control skills! I am hoping that the misinformation and fears of some of the residents have been alleviated.
