Fischer Bouma Partnership with Generator Studio Architects Selected to Submit Design for War Memorial   FBP-Press-Release-Image-9-12-2014web

Fischer Bouma Partnership with Generator Studio Architects of Kansas City, MO have been commissioned by The American Battle Monuments Commission in Washington DC to submit a design for a United States War Memorial in Wellington, New Zealand. The memorial will be located in National War Memorial Park which currently contains the site of the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior, the National War Memorial, the Hall of Memories and the National Carillion. The existing park is being expanded to include locations for other memorials from several other countries, including the United States.  The US War Memorial will commemorate the alliance between New Zealand and the United States and remember those who have sacrificed for the United States in pursuit of democracy. According to the Memorial Park Alliance, “The park will be completed to serve as the centrepiece for the centenary commemorations of the Gallipoli landings on ANZAC day in 2015.”

The Fort Ward Bakery building, which used to be the center of bread making for the enlisted men at the Fort, is being renovated and converted into a community hall for the Fort Ward area. Three Bainbridge Island firms—Wenzlau Architects, Browne Wheeler Engineers, and Fischer Bouma Partnership planning and design studio—have pledged to contribute their services to the project. Charlie Wenzlau said, “Our architecture work has always been about reinforcing what we love about our island. We are excited to be able to help preserve a piece of our island history and create a place for the community to gather.” About the three firms, he said, “These three firms have a long working relationship on a variety of projects. Given their busy schedules, I am so grateful to have the Browne Wheeler and Fischer Bouma talents as part of the team.”

FBP facilitated a public design meeting on 10/21/15 that has put Seattle closer to getting a very special park, geared toward people with disabilities. It’s called a sensory garden and will help people with visual and hearing impairments, along with other challenges like autism. The garden is going to be an addition to the Rose Garden next to Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo. It will be the first of its kind in a Seattle city park. Currently still in the design phase, those who hope to use this park say it will help some enjoy outdoor experiences that most of us take for granted.
