AIA, LEED AP, joins James Goettsch, FAIA, as co-design directors for the practice. As the primary partners in the firm, the three have worked closely together for more than 17 years. Goettsch will also continue to serve as chairman while Zheng now assumes the full CEO title as well as president.
Goettsch 和 Zheng 分别于 1992 年和 1995 年加入公司。 自 2013 年起，他们共同承担领导和管理职责，并自 2018 年起担任联席首席执行官。Zheng对公司的稳定领导，加上他对设计质量和技术专长以及高度个性化服务的重视，将继续成为公司的基础。 Goettsch 和 De Santis 多年来一直领导着美国和国外重大项目的设计。 作为联合设计总监，他们将合作指导公司的整体建筑理念，同时确保所有项目的设计达到最高水平。
Goettsch and Zheng joined the firm in 1992 and 1995 respectively. They have shared leadership and management responsibilities since 2013 and served as co-CEOs since 2018. Zheng’s steady leadership of the firm, coupled with his emphasis on design quality and technical expertise delivered with highly personal service will continue to be the foundation of the practice. Goettsch and De Santis have both been leading the designs of major projects in the U.S. and abroad for many years. As co-design directors, they will collaborate in guiding the overall architectural philosophy of the firm while ensuring that design excellence is paramount across all assignments.
除了公司的日常管理外，Zheng还专注策略增长。 凭借公司在办公、酒店和综合用途项目方面的成熟专长，Zheng在五年前专注于多户住宅领域，聘请主要领导和支持人员开发市场重点，目前已包括13 个项目的 7,000 多套公寓并覆盖五个城市。 Zheng最近在扩大公司业务范围方面也取得了成功，上个月在丹佛开设了一个新的办事处。 他将继续专注于发展该办事处，进一步为西部客户提供服务。
In addition to day-to-day management of the firm, Zheng has focused on strategic growth. With the firm’s established specialties in office, hospitality and mixed-use projects, Zheng concentrated on the multifamily residential sector five years ago, hiring key principal leaders and support staff to develop a market focus that now includes more than 7,000 apartments and condominiums across 13 projects and five cities. Zheng has also had recent success in expanding the firm’s reach, with the opening of a new office in Denver last month. He will continue to focus on growing that office to further serve clients in the West.
“James 已经成功领导公司好几年了，”Goettsch 说。 “他完全有能力推进公司的愿景并指导其未来。”
“James has been leading the firm successfully for several years now,” said Goettsch. “He is more than capable of furthering the firm’s vision and guiding its future.”
De Santis 最近完成了该公司迄今为止最高的建筑，即位于中国广西南宁的 403 米高的广西华润大厦。 他在亚洲的工作重点是高层和超高层建筑，重点项目位于北京、上海、深圳、广州和武汉。 他目前在美国的工作包括位于芝加哥、丹佛和纳什维尔的一流办公、酒店、住宅和综合用途项目。
De Santis recently completed the firm’s tallest building to-date, the 403-meter-tall Guangxi China Resources Tower in Nanning, China. His work in Asia focuses on several tall and supertall buildings, with key projects in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Wuhan.

“Paul 在 2005 年加入我们后很快就成为了公司的设计负责人，”Goettsch 指出。 “我很高兴正式承认我们多年来一直在实践的共同设计领导力。”
“Paul emerged as a design leader in the firm very soon after joining us in 2005,” noted Goettsch. “I am pleased to formally acknowledge the shared design leadership we have been practicing for many years.”
新的任命体现了公司自 1938 年成立以来计划良好的领导和管理结构以及可持续的发展。
