30 Years of Emerging Voices is now available! The book documents over 250 of the most innovative North American design firms from the past three decades.
Our work is featured in the 1994-1998 section, following a compelling forward by Thomas de Monchaux. In it he writes, “Marble and Fairbanks—alongside peers like Brad Cloepfield and Tom Buresh and Danelle Guthrie—have meticulously applied computational thinking to the repetitions and inspirations of fabrication (digital and material culture compressed inside a thousand laminations of quivering plywood).”

On Saturday, July 11th, The Architectural League of New York and Open House New York will present OpenStudios: Emerging Voices, a remarkable opportunity to visit the studios of over forty of the most inventive design practices working in NYC. Marble Fairbanks is thrilled to be counted as one of them. The event is organized to mark the publication of 30 Years of Emerging Voices: Idea, Form, Resonance, a new book which surveys a cross-section of the best American architects of the past three decades.
OpenStudios: Emerging Voices is a self-guided walking tour. Each ticket holder will be given a map of all participating studios at registration and may visit sites in any order during the hours that they are open. Midtown Manhattan and Queens studios will open from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM, and Downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn studios (that’s us) from 1:00 – 5:00 PM. We will be on hand to answer questions and discuss our firm’s work. All are welcome! Register here.
Scott and Karen are on the road as Marble Fairbanks commences design work on the renovation of Colman Hall at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin.
Marble Fairbanks is developing a design for a new covered soccer field and expanded facilities for FC Harlem. Using soccer to “connect with young people on and off the field,” FC Harlem is a community-based outreach program whose mission is to empower under-served youth, providing them with the “skills and support they need to be fearless in life.”
The Study, sponsored by The Architectural League of New York in conjunction with Center for an Urban Future, “will identify the challenges that branch libraries face and propose design solutions to stimulate conversation about means to support New York’s three library systems and the vital services they provide.”
