Om Atelier Architects operated during the harshest of times in U.S. History still producing over 500 projects regionally and nationally. In 2007, Arturo began to see the future of the profession and the state of the economy and government and decided to excel further in his public life, becoming a fellow of Leadership New Jersey and concurrently teaching as an adjunct professor of Architecture at New Jersey Institute of Technology.  Arturo is currently forming the first Center for Architecture in New Jersey, a non-profit organization.
