In the last eight years, NYC-based SHoP has gone from five graduates of Columbia Architecture School sitting around a kitchen table in a Murray Hill loft to one of the best architecture firms in the world, redesigning the Fashion Institute of Technology, building Google's first-ever ground-up structure and transforming the South Street Seaport from an outdoor shopping mall for tourists into a grid-based waterfront neighborhood for actual New Yorkers.

Aw, I used to live in Murray Hill.
Do they hire people who didn't go to Columbia? ;)
"one of the best architecture firms in the world" ... come on now! seriously, they are good and do good work, but the writer cannot be serious.
I agree with tenn.... Wtf?
Def one of the best in NY though. perhaps seeing that Ny is the world to most new yorksrs that's what the writer meant.
ditto what they said ^
maybe a little bit of an exaggeration but, having just seen sharples speak and hearing the methods of working that they've developed, i think it's possible that shop COULD own the next 10 yrs.
yes, they have a number of non-columbia grads.
what about Kiernan Timberlake? i think after seeing their work and perusing their book, i am much more interested in what they have to say right now.
