An enterprise of forward-looking practitioners, SHAPE offers an agile approach to architecture, transforming constraints into opportunities at every turn. SHAPE repeatedly forms alliances with like-minded professionals spanning the fields of engineering, sustainability, public art, and planning, in order to expand our ability to take on broad-based projects
We design buildings and landscapes within a larger environmental and cultural context, always aware that small moves at a local level trickle up to the regional and even global scale. Implementing a small patch of permeable landscape has a measurable impact on the surrounding watershed just as the freeing of a small piece of public space has a perceptible impact on the life of a city.
