Patriquin Architects' clientele includes independent schools as well as such downtown restaurants as Zic, Kitchen Zinc and Roia. How do you give back to the great- er New Haven community? As a small architecture office, we don't have a lot of resources other than a little extra time, a little extra creativity and maybe an undying optimism for the future. As an of- fice, we sponsor local events such as the Fair Haven Family Stroll and the Quinnipiac Riverfest. We volunteer on local boards and commissions, we visit local K-12 schools about what it means to become and be architects. What advice would you give to rising young rofessionals? Find a way to connect to your neigh- borhood — in the larger sense of the term — your school, your business community, neighbor- hood groups. Learn from those around you, through a mentor, through networking, through casual conversation. Baston twirler: I can conduct (musically) in 3/4 and 4/4 meter — at the same time. DAVID A.
