Gary Anderson, AIA
founder
Gary combined his passion for architecture with community activism and revitalization when he founded what is today Studio GWA in 1982. He continues to maintain and service many of those decades-long client relationships – a testament to his philosophy of caring, understanding, and commitment. Gary shares his knowledge, love of local history, and passion for the community in which he was born and raised by leading summer walking and biking architecture tours of downtown Rockford.
most impactful place
La Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona, Spain. A spectacular piece of art and architecture that spans more than a century in its creation. The interior space is awe-inspiring with its play of light, color, and its architectural cast of forms. It is a stunning display of how architecture has evolved from the 19th century into the 21st century in one spectacular building. The architect, Antoni Gaudi, was a visionary Master of Design with a clear vision of the future.
