KIERAN TIMBERLAKE FIRM AWARD

	The partners of KieranTimberlake Associates LLP approach
	design as a holistic process that benefits from the
	collective intelligence of architect, client, and
	others. The American Institute of Architects has
	selected KieranTimberlake to receive the 2008 AIA
	Architecture Firm Award, recognizing the firm's approach
	to complex challenges, its elegant buildings, its
	commitment to sustainable design, and its extensive
	research.

	"The commitment to collaborative design has resulted in
	a wide variety of superbly designed projects," said
	nominator Hubert Murray, AIA, RIBA, president of the
	Boston Society of Architects/AIA.

	"A long-standing commitment to and keen understanding of
	sustainable design in particular are among the fruits of
	the firmis unusually thorough design research, a firm
	approach that focuses on new materials, processes,
	assemblies and products" continued Murray, noting that
	KieranTimberlake dedicates four professional staff and
	three percent of the firm's annual gross revenues to
	research.

	Murray also recognized the firm's influence, praising it
	as "an exemplary teaching practice."

    by Katherine Gustafson
    http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2008/0206/culture_1-1.html

	Somewhere between the nostalgic musings of I. M. Pei and
	the flickering of an independent-minded slideshow, noted
	Marcel Breuer expert Barry Bergdoll expressed perhaps
	the most remarkable aspect of Breuer's architecture: "by
	the end of his career, even heavy things seem to float
	in air." Bergdoll illustrated his point with a series of
	striking images in which massive concrete structures
	balance as if on tiptoe.
