Joe said Graham Lund i's extremely creative and imaginative . He is a pace <br /> setter . we can ' t afford to do that. we have to put money into the inside <br /> of the building , He does not think Graham Gund understands the school <br /> program- rather he could understand any program but how- would he interpret <br /> i t. ,doe does not think he would negate his style and we can' t afford that. <br /> Steve agrees with Bill Mia rt i ros . Originally he thought it is out of our <br /> league. He did some homework on Brookline- talked with 2 other architects <br /> who ars watching this project and they are astounded it is being built for <br /> $120 . It is an innovation in material use. Graham Gund is a first rate <br /> architect and we should not count him out. <br /> Michael said he is a first rats architect but would we sacrifice things we <br /> need inside the building? They don' t have high school experience. They <br /> specifically said they could not rneet our time schedule. <br /> Peter said Brookline wanted a statement and they paid a premium to get <br /> it, B rook l i ne's income levels are very different from Mashpee's. First <br /> and foremost we are designing something for use by our children, an <br /> educational facility for the kids today and for the next 50 years. A <br /> pretty design will cast money . If the architect is predisposed to put <br /> pretty things i n , we will constantly be trying to scale him back . Graham <br /> and only did 1 public school in the State. They do not understand <br /> programming . <br /> strekalovky and Hoit <br /> ill ones said they,.did a responsible job on theMiddle school addition . <br /> The firm, in its present configuration , has not done a major high school . <br /> The firm is small , Their expertise is $150,000-$ 3 million jobs and they <br /> do then well , He is concerned they could not meet this schedule and provide <br /> choices on a wide variety of options. we need a. more powerful firm. <br /> Merry sue agreed their work is in renovations . You don 't see any "design <br /> , <br /> evidence when they design an addition -- it looks like the original <br /> building . <br /> Janice was not present for the interview. <br /> Paul is concerned this would be overwhelming for them, This Job i s a lot <br /> more difficult than an addition or renovation ., <br /> Bill Mia rt i r'os said they are good for small projects . There are too roan <br /> other architects we could feel comfortable with. <br /> Joe agreed they are too small . This school would overwhelm then. <br /> Steve said they have no new, original designs. They have a rapport with <br /> the state which is advantageous. He is concerned about their ability to <br /> handle our p roj ect <br /> Michael said they lack experience, and lack high tech support. <br /> Peter said he is grateful to Roger Ho i t, he made Peter and Bill Jones look <br /> like geniuses. He saved the town money and they are grateful . His niche i s <br /> renovations and additions and they do a great job. since the firm started, <br /> they have never designed an elementary or high school from scratch . <br /> The Design Partnership of Cambridge <br /> Bill Jones said this firm i's an exciting one. It was the most interesting <br /> interview. They had interesting ideas about use of space and <br /> configuration - flexible multiple use from a classroom. very stimulating <br /> ideas . He is also impressed with the capabilities of the rest of the team. <br /> They had a vision of an environment, sensitive to the relationship and <br /> 7 <br />
