Convention Centers

Convention centers have the potential to make significant and multifaceted contributions to the life of a city. As critical community assets for public convening, these projects foreground functionality, access, and resilience. Our transdisciplinary approach combines architecture, urban design, landscape, interior design, environmental graphics, and public art to create future-ready elements of cultural urban infrastructure.

Educational environments are living organisms that generate connections within academic communities, and between institutions and their surroundings. We create spaces for learning and research that respond to site and context, foster spontaneous social engagement, and meet the evolving needs of a diverse, interdisciplinary student body.
