Designing Social Architecture

Refining architecture of workspaces isn’t a cure-all for being disconnected, but, designing more socially conscious architecture will make an impact.

Does Design Really Matter in K12 Spaces?

How Does Architecture Affect Quality of Life on Campus?
August 19, 2019

College students spend much of their day in or around a college building. But have you considered how these buildings actively affect their quality of life?

One of the aspects of CMBA that I greatly appreciate is that they clearly understand the significance of having their name associated with a project. Of course that means quality professional design, but it also means service delivery throughout the construction cycle and, most significantly, afterwards.
