Through a new 23,500 square foot home for filmmakers within a former industrial cast iron building, the Filmmakers Collaborative aims to create an open atmosphere where filmmakers have the opportunity to develop and realize projects through collective resources and open discussion. The building features conference rooms, online-editing suites, a screening room, a public gallery space, multiple scaled office spaces with T-1 access, a garden and an open-air screening room on the roof.

Popularly known for its role in the "Ghostbusters" movies, the firehouse for Fire Hook & Ladder Company 08 is among New York City’s oldest — at more than 100 years — and one of its most decorated. CDR Studio was responsible for architectural design and construction management for the facility's exterior restoration and interior renovation. CDR navigated NYC Landmarks review, approval and execution of the complex exterior restoration, which included upgraded window replacement and masonry rehabilitation.

The African Burial Ground Memorial Project gives voice to the voiceless, buried generations without markers of remembrance. Located within the dense urban fabric of New York City, the site is sacred both as a place for the reinternment of African and African-American bones and as a site for a broader remembrance of the plight of African peoples around the world. The memorial addresses the memory of the dead; it is a space for the dialogue of the living.

The Museum of Art and Technology design aims to exemplify and inspire unprecedented applications of information technology. Symbiosis of digital media and architectural space results in a kind of cat's cradle situation: reciprocal elements bound in tension. Two seemingly separate horizontal spaces are toggled such that each appears to be an extraordinarily thick mass from which the other is carved. The structural system is based on mathematical theories of tensegrity, a force field of separate compression members held apart by cords in continuous tension.

Suspended between the traces in the ground, signs of imminent activity and charged with the lightness of activities to come.

Sited in London, Pavilion T is a semi-permanent summer pavilion situated in the courtyard of the adjacent Lightbox building. With an allowable footprint of 35 square meters and a maximum height of 4 meters, the pavilion serves as an exhibition space, a formal presentation space and an informal gathering space satisfying multiple use requirements throughout the changing seasons.

Hannes Meyer:  "In every creative design appropriate to living, we reorganize an organized form of existence."

In lieu of large-scale public housing, school design remains a vital bridge between city, state and federal entities. It is the nexus of the individual and social economy. An architecture that seeks to augment educational reform requires an optimistic pragmatism. Our proposal seeks to rethink the Robbins School design and its neighborhood while preserving the strengths and identity of its past.

Liberty State Park is composed of diverse and overlapping environments defined by New Jersey's Hudson River edge. It is crucial to mark out a defined vessel for the memorial.
