The list above, which is in no way encyclopedic, represents just a few of the famous architects who have chosen to marry other architects. We left out the time you exchanged kisses with a studio mate over the drafting table, that missed connection on a Calatrava bridge, and the eye contact that was made (and held) at a Richard Meier retrospective.<\/p>\n<p>Today we\u2019re talking about partnerships. Specifically, we&#8217;re investigating the kind that have forged some of the best architecture of the last century: Ray and Charles, Liz and Ricardo, Denise and Robert. Monogamous by nature, architects build with scale, a sense of materiality, and are seduced by permanence. Their relationships mirror the cyclical gestures of an architectural practice: intense toil, a never-ending argument, rapid design, and an overwhelming elation.<\/p>\n<p>Mimi Hoang and Eric Bunge, principles of <a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/narchitects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nArchitects<\/a>, keep a blackboard in their kitchen. Marrying an architect means never having to say you&#8217;re sorry (for spending 48 hours straight in the studio). Design, like prayer, becomes an all-consuming ritual. Taught the penance of long hours in grad school, architects marry other architects so that they can keep the conversation going.<\/p>\n<p>Below, Architizer has profiled some of our favorite contemporary architectural love stories, giving an entirely new meaning to the phrase, &#8220;No, not that kind of partner.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1392407263090Florian-Jing.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1392407263090Florian-Jing.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1392407263090Florian-Jing.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1392407263090Florian-Jing.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1392407263090Florian-Jing.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1392407263090Florian-Jing.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><b>Jing Liu and Florian Idenburg<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This couple took a fast path to designing a life together: Jin and Florian were married in 2006, welcomed two babies into their home by 2007, and established an architecture firm, <a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/solid-objectives-idenburg-liu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SO-IL<\/a>, by 2008. Jing Liu had just quit her job doing residential spa architecture and, with her husband, rented a desk space in DUMBO and picked up a license. When the market crashed mere months later, they did what anyone would do: desperately clung to their commissions while creating a new aesthetic formed by austerity, panic, and ephemerality. What saved them? \u201cThere\u2019s something that the Dutch and Chinese share,\u201d Liu observes. \u201cPragmatism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their Derek Lam office materialized, a Dutch art collector&#8217;s new building evaporated, while a house for Ivan Chermayeff ended in a hole in the ground and a few construction drawings\u2014an apt metaphor for their first year of practice.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/poledance.so-il.org\/\">Pole Dance<\/a>, the commission that became their savior, was the winner of the MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program. \u201cAn interconnected system of poles and bungees whose equilibrium is open to human action and environmental factors&#8221; became a metaphor for the treacherous economic terrain. Their piece, and SO-IL itself, occupies the sliver of interstitial space between an unstable system and having just enough strength to stand. Much like their marriage, Liu explains in a recent article in the <i><a href=\"http:\/\/nymag.com\/arts\/architecture\/features\/architect-couples-2013-6\/\">New Yorker<\/a>,<\/i> &#8220;We can afford to fight it out over days and days.

Similarly, their work is often institutional yet personal. Both architects attest to working at a slow but steady pace. Their process becomes a meditation on the only thing they love more than one another: materiality. <i>The Barnes Foundation, The American Folk Art Museum, The Prospect Park Skating Rink. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>The couple met in 1977 when Billie went to work at Tod&#8217;s firm. Nine years later, the two were married and had co-founded a firm whose work would eclipse each of their prior resumes. Their <i>Wunderkammer <\/i>project for the 2012 Venice Biennial was produced with their design prodigy son, Kai Williams. For the family practice, sensitive relationships replace starchitect lifestyle. Billie tells <a href=\"http:\/\/www.architecturaldigest.com\/architecture\/2012-06\/tod-williams-billie-tsien-barnes-foundation-article\">Architectural Digest<\/a>, &#8220;I think the lie of architecture is that it has always been done by single men.

Their first commission, which shaped their following work, was the austere Hunstanton School. Built at the tail end of England&#8217;s steel rationing, the project embraced the idea of an eclectic assemblage and resisted modular building\u2014which had become a tired trope of post-war architecture. Described by a teacher who spent 37 years there as a &#8220;tragedy&#8221;, the building represents their long career of not listening to the haters.<\/p>\n<p>Proponents of the new Brutalist movement, the Smithsons were predestined to be unpopular\u2014but found solace in each other. Peter, nicknamed Brutus, often said that &#8220;Brutalism is Brutus plus Allison.&#8221; They termed the <i>Architectural Review<\/i> a &#8220;festival of Britain\u2019s effeminate aesthetic&#8221; and viewed a return to normalcy as a surrender of post-war experimentation.
