What People Say
Turning Ideas into Action Empowering through planning and architecture.
“It is a privilege to any community to have Fani as a leader in initiating and activating urban revival and civic projects. Her work is unique as it carries beyond the limitations of a physical plan into the arena of the public spirit”
Dianne Feinstein, US Senator
“Thanks for all your valuable assistance. I'm afraid you've spoiled me about the kind of service I should expect from an architect. Without your great work we would not have such interesting banks. While our world contains many people who think budgets and timetables are important, one does not find many with the attitude and skill combined with the sensitivities of a great artist. The end result of the products you invented and produced for us are exhilarating, timeless and beautiful. Your legacy will be with our company forever.”
Raymon L. Hanssen, Executive Vice President, Business Bank of California.
“Dear Fani, Congratulations and heartfelt thanks for the great work you have done. This has undoubtedly been the most decisive action thus far in our effort to modify the plans for downtown Tiburon.. It now seems clear that the development of downtown Tiburon will be an issue in our city council election. So, you can see how important the work has been.”
Brewster H. Morris, CoChairman Committee for Downtown Plan Review
“The new Civic Center is magnificent. The architect is Fani Hansen who orchestrated the designing of the structure so that it is a testimony to who we are as a people. There is much symbolism used in the design, color and fabrics which are to represent the multicultural community in which we live. Many of the products used to build the Civic Center come from local industry. The fact that cost of the building is coming in below budget is cause for jubilation. We have indeed been fortunate to have chosen the right architect for such an undertaking. The city fathers are to be congratulated for the stand taken to present this city with a bold new image.”
Marti Aiello, letter to the editor, Ledger Dispatch, Pittsburg
“Under the leadership of the architect numerous public meetings have been held to define community goals and objectives for the new facility. This represents an example of a positive collaboration among a number of major public agencies.”
