SITE is an internationally known, multi-disciplinary, environmental arts and architecture organization located in New York City. The studio offers a wide variety of design services - including buildings, public spaces, landscapes, interiors, graphics, and industrial products. SITE's capacity to work in so many fields is based on a philosophy that sees all of the arts as a fusion of related ideas.
SITE was founded in 1970 by James Wines and presently includes a team of architects, artists, landscape designers, and technicians.
The primary purpose of the organization is to communicate effectively with people through municipal projects that advocate social and environmental responsibility.
During the past decade, SITE's emphasis has been on the translation of "green architecture" into aesthetic realizations, the integration of natural environment with buildings, and the development of public spaces that enhance communities' quality of life and celebrate their civic identity.
As a result of considerable experience working in Europe and Asia, SITE now functions as a "virtual corporation," assembling highly skilled inter-disciplinary teams in each locality to accomplish a variety of large and small scale public projects. Rather than maintain a high overhead and large staff, the firm brings together the best regional consultants for every commission; thereby providing the most site-specific and cost-effective service for the client.
SITE's creative approach emphasizes imagination and teamwork. It is a collaborative alliance that makes it possible to achieve visually imaginative, environmentally responsive, and functionally effective buildings and spaces
