About Richard Meier & Partners Architects
For over four decades, Richard Meier & Partners has
been called upon to create dozens of urban designs in the United States
and abroad, each of which has been conceived to greet their contexts with grace
and usher their residents into a brighter future. It has always been our aim to
create a brand of architecture that legendary architect Louis Kahn once
described as the “architecture of occasion.” Such are buildings that encourage
public gatherings and contemplation, inspire creativity, give pleasure, and
infuse both visitors and occupants with a sense of event.
The work of Richard Meier & Partners is instantly
recognizable and internationally well respected. Many of the firm’s buildings
have become local and international landmarks and are exceptionally popular,
frequently visited attractions in their respective cities. Our projects have
received numerous awards including thirty National Honor Awards from the
American Institute of Architects and over fifty from the New York AIA and other
AIA regional chapters. In our offices in New
York and Los
Angeles we employ a multicultural staff of extremely
talented professionals and have produced contract documents for projects in fifteen
different countries in six languages.
Richard Meier & Partners’ projects reflect the
firm’s extensive experience with many building types including museums,
cultural facilities, city halls and government office buildings, courthouses,
libraries, educational buildings, media production facilities, industrial
research complexes, corporate headquarters facilities, and private residences.
The firm has worked on major urban design assignments in the United States, Prague, Edinburgh, Antwerp, and Nice.
