CambridgeSeven Associates is an American architecture firm which was founded in 1962 and is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The original seven partners, Lou Bakanowsky, Ivan Chermayeff, Peter Chermayeff, Alden Christie, Paul Dietrich, Tom Geismar, and Terry Rankine created a design studio with the idea that each project was 'an opportunity to apply fresh thinking in search of creative solutions'.[1] The firm believes that the efforts of a group with varied skillsets are more effective than the efforts of a single person. They won the American Institute of ArchitectsArchitecture Firm Award in 1993, and were described by the AIA Committee on Design as "an influential and stimulating example, demonstrating new directions of professional practice."[2]
CambridgeSeven’s current practice is led by principals Stefanie Greenfield, Patricia Intrieri, Gary Johnson, Yongjoo Kim, Peter Kuttner, Timothy Mansfield, Adam Mitchell, Marc Rogers, and CFO José Silveira, who continue to apply the firm’s collaborative approach and carry forward the ideals that launched the firm more than fifty years ago. CambridgeSeven has undertaken work in architecture, urban design, planning, exhibitions, graphic, and interior design. The firm has executed a diverse range of building types including academic, museum, exhibit, hospitality, transportation, retail, office, and aquarium facilities. CambridgeSeven has practiced throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with an annual revenue of over US$26 million in 2016.[3]
