[email protected] Dear Ms. Laurent and Members of the Selection Committee, We applaud you and your board for your enlightened approach at both bringing together complementary civic and cultural organizations to efficiently leverage a communal vision and effort into a larger arts district in a strategically important part of Park City. For the past 15 years, Lake|Flato has been instrumental in the creation of San Antonio's own dynamic civic district, the 23-acre Pearl Brewery, a project which recently was honored as a Urban Land Institute Global Awards for Excellence Winner. We enjoyed facilitating a design process where like-minded organizations, innovative developers, and the city work together to build a vibrant urban place. We see your vision for Park City's new Arts and Cultural District as one that will be equally transformative. We have a great appreciation for Park City, a place where the arts and nature are celebrated equally. We feel our practice is particularly well suited to create buildings and landscapes that catalyze and support your transformational vision and net-zero aspirations. With more AIA Committee on the Environment (COTE) Top Ten awards than any other firm in the country, we bring a strong background in sustainable architecture that is rooted to its place we create, as well as a deep understanding for “scrappy” art spaces like the Midtown Arts & Theater Center Houston (MATCH) that create exciting, versatile spaces that are both exhilarating and timeless.
