Over the past few days, we had the pleasure of hosting Griffin, a local high school student, as part of the Center for Architecture’s Discover Architecture program. It was exciting to discuss our shared passion for architecture and introduce him to the profession. During his time at MFA, we toured local architecture, visited Greenpoint Library, and explored some of our latest projects using VR. We wish Griffin all the best as he continues to pursue his passion for architecture!

We recently visited Urban Dove Team Charter School in Brooklyn (UD). It was wonderful to be back at UD, and learn of all of the new and exciting activities and programs they have in place for the current school year. We toured the school and their facilities, including their newest addition, an outdoor vegetable garden.
We also visited the gym, a project we collaborated with UD on in 2020. Over the years, we’ve worked on a series of projects with UD, including the development of a strategic plan to expand the school across all NYC boroughs, as well as the design of their Brooklyn school as a renovation to an existing building, and the development of a graphic identity for the school among other design projects. We continue to be inspired by UD’s incredible work, and look forward to our next visit!
We kicked off our work with the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) on a feasibility study for their Gladys Marcus Library, located within the Shirley Goodman Resource Center on the FIT campus. The library houses a repository of resources and provides a multitude of services and programs that support the university’s academic community and the international fashion industry.
We recently hosted tabling sessions and workshops with students, faculty, and the greater campus community, who have been eager to share their thoughts and visions for the new library space. Stay tuned for project updates over the following months, as we continue to work to transform the Gladys Marcus Library into a vibrant and innovative hub that meets the evolving needs of FIT.
We are delighted to have had the privilege of being sponsors for the AIANY Honors and Awards Luncheon held at Cipriani Wall Street. The event provided the opportunity for us to gather alongside a diverse gathering of architects, industry professionals, and esteemed members of the Honors Committee, all united in celebrating and recognizing the exceptional accomplishments of this year’s AIA award recipients. We extend our congratulations to all the award winners!
We had the pleasure of hosting a high school student, Kelly, in our office as part of the Center for Architecture’s Discover Architecture Program. It was a wonderful experience to have Kelly join us, and we are grateful to the Center for Architecture for making this opportunity possible. We were thrilled that the program was back in person this year, as it allowed us to come together in our office, tour the neighborhood around the office and learn about local architecture, and pay a visit to Greenpoint Library.
We enjoyed getting to know our student, Kelly, and wish her the best of luck as she explores her interest in architecture!
