Perkins&Will
About
Perkins&Will is an architecture and design firm with a presence in Boston, guided by the idea of creating places where humanity thrives in harmony with nature. Its design teams have been recognized for work addressing climate change, resource scarcity, social equity and rapid urbanization. Projects featured by the firm range from university buildings to transit stations, where panoramic views and bespoke signage place riders at the heart of the city.
Research is part of the practice: the firm is undertaking what it describes as the first study of how school building conditions affect teacher health. It also publishes interviews and essays, including a conversation with pediatrician José Luiz Egydio Setúbal about expanding Sabará Children’s Hospital into one of Latin America’s largest pediatric complexes, and profiles of its own designers, such as the leader of interior design in its North Carolina studios.
