The architectural firm was relieved when Gordi-
nier was recruited to complete the healing garden,
leaving them to concentrate on what they do best—
architecture. Gordinier made four modifications to the
landscape design—a new formal entryway flanked by
twin ponds, a granite and cast glass disk for the entry-
way, a cast glass granite waterfall, and a landscaped
limestone amphitheater. “It was a great success. The
public loves it.”
Generally, Gordinier has learned to approach bids
with an eye for challenges he can turn into expanded
opportunity. “These people aren’t just interested in a
piece of glass. They are as likely to want seven dif-
ferent glass pieces located throughout their homes
or businesses. I answer their solicitation with a
beautiful, responsive idea and am prepared to extend
it to help them solve other problems they might be
confronting.”
