Our friends at the Center for an Urban Future recently published an Op-Ed in the New York Times; referencing our work together researching New York City’s public libraries.
Learn more about how the Center’s current research and our Re-envisioning Branch Libraries study aim to strengthen the city’s public libraries here.
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).”
