New York, NY

Karen Bausman + Associates is a New York-based architecture firm widely recognized for its visionary designs based on an in-depth understanding of the needs the structures are meant to serve. The firm's technically sophisticated approach to the art of building derives from a process of inquiry designed to match every aspect of a project's spatial and social program to a comprehensive system of formal invention. Architectural solutions are determined through design strategies grounded in drawing practice, both digital and material, and a thorough command of the materialities of building and the liberating potential of new technologies.

Directed by principal Karen Bausman, the breadth of the firm's built work and independent research projects ranges from large-scale public buildings to site-specific installations.
