Tod Williams and Billie Tsien began working together in 1977 and had co-founded their practice in 1986, located in Midtown Manhattan. The studio focus its work on institutions, like schools, museums and not-profits; organizations; and people, that value issues of aspiration and meaning, timelessness and beauty.
The duo believes that architecture is the coming together of art and use. That’s the reason why their buildings are carefully made from the inside out to be functional in ways that speak to both efficiency and the spirit. A sense of rootedness, light, texture, detail, and most of all experience are at the heart of what the team designs.
