Our strategy is to balance the deployment of precise universal performance criteria with the creative agitation of local equilibriums, leading to unforeseen innovations. We aim to to blend high technology and craftsmanship in order to remain flexible and responsive to both controlled factory fabrication systems and more conventional construction techniques.
Established in 1995, MMA began its life with a unique, digitally-based collaboration for the creation of the Korean Presbyterian Church of New York. One of the first projects to utilize 3D software, it is widely cited as a significant forerunner in the evolution of digital design.
Since the inception of the office, we have sought to advance the conditions of architectural practice and continued to pursue the latest means of design exploration. The firm continues to complete award winning projects.
Projects commence with investigations of systems, both natural and synthetic, and specifically applicable to each site representing the essence of true contextualism. An intelligent abstraction of these local programmatic, climatic, and biotic conditions informs the development of digital models, resulting in a holistic and ecologically calibrated design.
