About the Presenter | Saxon Sigerson, AIA

Sigerson Architects is a one-person architectural firm in Fair Oaks, California founded in 1999. The firms philosophy is that architecture is more than function and more than form--it's about making places with meaning that resonate in the soul. Wonderful form making and crystal clear functionality can contribute to that special quality but it is an understanding of the client, the site and universal truths of the human condition that are needed in making a beautiful and memorable place.
