Designing a better, more beautiful world since 1935.

Our hearts are heavy. Again.

Last week, we watched in horror as heightened anti-Asian racism around the world culminated in a murder spree targeting women of Asian descent in Atlanta, Georgia. It was a stark reminder of the hatred and xenophobia that has plagued our communities for decades—and of the pain and fear felt by our Asian colleagues, clients, friends, and family every single day. On the heels of a racially turbulent 2020, it also brought to the fore, yet again, the harrowing truth about racism: It is real, and it is deadly.

We know words alone won’t change the world. But we also know words matter—especially in hurtful moments.

Celebrating Women's History Month 2021

Gender inequity in architecture and design remains a serious problem that will take collective action to address. “We Are Women, We Are Here” shines the spotlight on influential women at our firm whose work is integral to our success.

 

We’ve always believed that the right tools can improve our design outcomes—and the last year has only strengthened that ethos. When we pivoted overnight from in-person to virtual engagement, our Digital Practice team equipped us with tools and tech to help us stay connected to clients in a rapidly shifting business climate.
