Arthur Gensler shared 50 years of hard learned lessons in building a world class professional service firm in one brightly colored book.

He is a Fellow of both the American Institute of Architects and the International Interior Design Association, and a professional member of the Royal Institute of British Architects. He graduated from Cornell University’s College of Architecture, Art and Planning and is a member of its Advisory Council. Art is also a charter member of Interior Design magazine’s Hall of Fame and a recipient of IIDA’s Star Award, and received Ernst & Young LLP’s Lifetime Achievement Award and the Cornell Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
