Krueck+Sexton Architects
鈥淭he Power of Persistence ought to be the title of our next book,鈥 says Krueck Sexton partner Tom Jacobs. 鈥淔rom the moment I arrived at the firm [in the 1990s] I saw there were certain core values we had that were related to sustainability, but which later became important in the market.鈥 Mark Sexton, one of the founding partners, agrees. Sexton studied architecture at IIT where he was steeped in the teaching and values of Mies van der Rohe, the architecture school鈥檚 first chief and the planner and designer of most of the Bronzeville campus. 鈥淭he partners here believe [as Mies did] that quality construction doesn鈥檛 need to be value-engineered out and that you can meet a project鈥檚 goals for cost.鈥
