Johan Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) is credited as being the first to say “Architecture is Frozen Music.” In that way, we at WDM Architects are like players in a band, traveling around creating places and architecture that can be thought of as “Frozen Music.” And only good frozen music comes from WDM.
We believe in what we do. One day we may be playing…um designing for a small zoo (venue if you will) in the Midwest or the South. The next trip may find us in a large venue in California or New England. As Dan Fogelberg said, “The audience is heavenly, but the traveling is…" well, you the client make it worth while. Our band of designers never loses sight of why we are out there…to create places and architecture that inspire loving stewardship for the natural world. Downing Gorilla Forest “Through all of our projects, WDM has never forgotten that we are the customer and their whole team always gives us the face-to-face time that we need. We believe that their design creativity, realization of our specialized needs, and overall attention to detail result in world-class exhibitory.” Mark C. Reed Executive Director/Sedgwick County Zoo Oklahoma Trails “WDM Principals Craig Rhodes and Matt Schindler, along with their entire staff have spent significant time researching the project in order to make the exhibit as authentic of an experience for our guests as possible. I have been very impressed with all aspects of their firm’s work; they are truly responsive and cooperative to the needs of our organization.” Norberto J. (Bert) Castro Executive Director/CEO The Oklahoma City Zoo Lorikeet Adventure “We have been thoroughly impressed with WDM’s professionalism, creativity, attention to detail, and we are extremely proud of the resulting products of our joint efforts.” Craig D. Piper Executive Vice President/COO/Denver Zoo Brazos River Country “Our employees found WDM’s staff to be extremely talented, professional and creative. We were impressed with their ability to create cutting edge facilities while keeping a close eye on the bottom line.” Jim Fleshman Executive Director/Cameron Park Zoo Entry Complex — Lion Exhibit “To establish a reserve of 300, 500, 1,000 or 1,200 acres and put a fence around it is only doing a very small portion of the job of conservation. We must use the land to show people what the desert really is; to create an awareness and appreciation for the desert plants, animals, and landscape. We must use some of our resources, both physical and financial, for active conservation programs including breeding endangered species and protecting wild habitat.” Karen Sausman President/CEO/The Living Desert Pride of the Plains “This Pride of the Plains exhibit is truly a world-class African savanna exhibit. This is how it should be; this is how it is at home.” Ambassador Munyaradzi Samuel Kajese Chief of Protocol, Zimbabwe |
