Urban Quotient, PC is a full-service architecture design firm and research collaborative whose work stems from a profound interest in urban environments and systems. We believe that thoughtful, intelligent architecture encompasses
theory, rigor, and aesthetic judgment in design, a thorough knowledge
of construction in the field, and an advocacy role for social
responsibility in policy and urban development. Through architecture, landscape design, urban design, planning, and research, we seek to create work that expresses both the specificity of place and the complexity of forces that shape the built environment.Principal Samir S.
