Jim Edwards, Bob O' Day and Mr. Ricci all went to high <br /> school together. Their careers have since crossed paths often . <br /> When they heard of this opportunity, they proposed to join <br /> forces. <br /> BTA has work all across the county and they usually collaborate <br /> with a local firm. BTA was established in 1968 and Mr. Ricci has <br /> been with them for 9 years. The firm started doing academic <br /> institution work - high schools and higher. Mr. Green explained <br /> in the early years of the firm they did education work , both <br /> public and private, in New England and then work in the Mid-west <br /> and New York City. They also branched into other architectural <br /> work, redevelopment of Fanueil Hall , hotels, performing arts <br /> centers. They were always interested in creating places with <br /> community use. <br /> Their design philosophy is to find architectural solutions out of <br /> the place, the program it will serve and the people who will use <br /> it. They do not try to be " in the latest fashion" . Their <br /> earliest work still holds up today. <br /> Holmes and Edward, Mr. James Edwards explained, was founded by <br /> his father who was an Architect. The firm is committed to design <br /> excellence and has a close relationship with their clients. They <br /> have done work for the archdiocese of Boston and Fall River, <br /> Stonehill College, banking institutions around Boston. They <br /> treat all clients as equally important and are proud their <br /> clients, keep coming back to their firm. <br /> Mr. Ricci said they are proud to say they are still here, during <br /> these hard economic times and they have repeat and referral <br /> clients . <br /> They showed some slides of their past work. <br /> - Mt.
