Building museums that engage and inspire.

1

We believe that the fullness of architecture is achieved by more, not less. We see no contradiction— only inspiration—between an architecture that is in equal measure an art and a science that seeks poetry through inquiry.

Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, Washington University in St. Louis

How We Work 3

Our firm is a hive of creativity dedicated to producing remarkable architecture while improving design outcomes.

Our first act of design is to confirm shared goals and vision with each client. This highly collaborative process continues in the studio where we bring together architectural expertise and transdisciplinary research to design memorable places that transcend circumstance.

Pact with the Planet 6

SELECTED WORKS

We believe it is our collective ethical obligation to tackle climate change, social inequity, and ecological fragility on every project. Our transdisciplinary research team seeks novel materials and tools in pursuit of a better planet. We lead and support other architects in industry-wide efforts to make all buildings carbon neutral by 2030.

Environmentally responsible buildings are more than a sum of individual parts. We incorporate environmental initiatives at every phase of design. This holistic approach leads to resonant and compelling work that artfully balances environmental responsibility with performance, constructability, and budget.

Selected Work Spaces that cultivate connection.

Edgar N. Putman Event Pavilion James A. Michener Art Museum

The glass-enclosed Putman Pavilion celebrates the museum’s nineteenth century walls and provides seamless views to the sculpture garden and lawn. The self-supporting, 23-foot glass units are among the largest of their kind in North America.

The museum’s grounds, on the site of the former Bucks County Prison, feature three fieldstone walls that were left behind after the prison was demolished. Today, the walls form the periphery of the sculpture garden.

Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum Washington University in St. Louis

The polished stainlesssteel facade of the gallery addition draws visitors with a striking, pleated surface that reflects landscape and sky.

A double-height, glass-lined lobby opens up the formerly introverted building.

With expanded exhibition space, the museum can display a larger portion of its renowned permanent collection. The design builds on the simple material palette of the original Fumihiko Maki design.

The Folger Shakespeare Library Rennovation and Addition

13

The renovation and addition invite broader and more diverse audiences into the world of William Shakespeare through new entries with visitor amenities, exhibition halls, and an education center.

New accessible entrances prepare visitors for their immersion into Shakespeare’s world by circulating through a landscape filled with plants featured in his works.

Change begins at the front door. This renovation retains the museum’s legacy as a resplendent, turn-ofthe century palazzo while engaging visitors upon entry.

Off-site storage and digitization has opened space for new uses.

Remaining library materials are displayed in a reading room that connects rare medical texts to the museum’s collections of rare medical specimens.

Kennedy Center Master Plan and Memorial Interpretation

17

Our Master Plan was formed around two interrelated goals: Transforming the visitor experience into one of welcome and engagement, and celebrating President Kennedy and his relationship to the arts.

KieranTimberlake’s interventions re-envision a visitor’s experience and emotional connection to Kennedy’s legacy, and guide future projects at the Kennedy Center.

Sculpture Building and Art Gallery Yale University

Originally planned to be within the sculpture building, the gallery was brought out to the street to present a welcoming public face and to negotiate the scale change relative to the neighboring historic district.

The gallery is clad in reclaimed cedar in response to the residential street context. The glass walls of the front façade can fold away to extend the gallery into the street and create an open, inviting porch.

Collaborating with Artists Architecture is enriched by visionary partnerships.

21

We have significant experience collaborating with prominent artists on site-specific installations, such as Janet Echelman’s work at Dilworth Park. This has given us a strong sense of the process of artists and curators in integrating art and architecture.

In collaboration with KieranTimberlake, the Art in Embassies program commissioned Flat Pack House by Rachel Whiteread, representing catalog American suburban homes of the 1950s. Public art is integral to the London Embassy’s environment.

Transformative Practice We believe it is the exceptional depth and breadth of our search into the uniqueness of each opportunity that gives rise to broadly resonant and compelling planning and architecture. This search creates value across all scales, from the conception of the whole to the tactile beauty and appeal of details.

Pendleton West Renovation & Addition, Wellesley College

We are internationally recognized for leadership and innovation across many realms, from high performance facades and building systems, to new materials and design software, to the development of off-site fabrication and evolving methods of project delivery. We seek a fully humanist architecture, one that unifies art with the science and technology of performance, with each giving form to the other.
