Earlier this month we reported on the exciting news that over 100 top architecture firms<\/a> are now active on Architizer\u2019s ever-growing community marketplace for building-products<\/a>. Interest in Source continues to grow, with architects from New York City\u2013based firm GLUCK+<\/a> (formerly Peter Gluck and Partners Architects) and Portland-based Hacker Architects<\/a> signing up on the platform.<\/p>\n

GLUCK+ has a 40-year history of innovative construction and is particularly notable for its imaginative repositioning of the architect\u2019s role in contemporary practice. The firm\u2019s Architect Led Design Build<\/a> (ALDB) method of project delivery sees the architect take involvement from concept to construction of buildings, and this strategy has culminated in a number of well-planned and beautifully detailed completed projects in recent years. The addition of Source to the firm\u2019s arsenal of tools should help advance this method further still.<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

GLUCK+ is famous for its unique residential project entitled <\/i>Tower House<\/a>, an extraordinary, cantilevering vacation home in Ulster County, New York.<\/i><\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

Meanwhile, Hacker Architects \u2014 a team of over 50 architects working in the stunning climes of the Pacific Northwest \u2014 has been making waves with a series of modern yet timeless designs in Oregon and beyond. The award-winning firm \u2014 which scooped the AIA\u2019s Northwest & Pacific Region Firm of the Year in 2013 \u2014 is renowned for its expressive use of materials and a devotion to craft, meaning that finding the right building-products is crucial in bringing its designs to fruition.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

Hacker Architects was the local partner to Kengo Kuma and Associates<\/a> for the Japanese firm\u2019s debut project on American soil \u2014 the stunning Portland Japanese Garden<\/a> in Portland, Oregon.<\/i><\/p>\n

Based on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts respectively, these two firms epitomize the nature of architecture practices now joining the Source platform. These studios are populated by designers that care deeply not only about their initial concept, but also about how that concept becomes a reality with the help of expert building-product manufacturers. As the growing portfolios of both GLUCK+ and Hacker Architects illustrates, beautiful drawings and visualizations are worth so much more if they can be translated into successful real-world projects. For this reason, these firms recognize the immense creative potential in high-quality materials and building-products, and will now utilize Source to help identify them.<\/p>\n
