Overview

Rooted in the modernist tradition, Erdy McHenry Architecture brings uncommon rigour to their work. Recognised for their uniquely diverse portfolio of mixed-use, institutional, office, agricultural, and residential design, Erdy McHenry Architecture presents this monograph as a window into projects developed throughout the firm's twenty-year history. With an appreciation for place and creative constraints, Erdy McHenry Architecture considers each project challenge as an opportunity: how can architecture make great places? How can design elevate the human experience? How can a project team address the realities of construction without sacrificing programmatic intent? For each case study presented in this monograph, Erdy McHenry Architecture provides a brief narrative of the project's design intent and evolution. Whether it is a tower, a school, or an office headquarters, Erdy McHenry Architecture leverages the challenges and opportunities of site, scale, and social context to reveal solutions that enable design as an outcome more than an objective. Erdy McHenry Architecture is an award-winning architecture firm based in Philadelphia. Since the firm's critically-acclaimed beginning, designing the Southern Poverty Law Center Headquarters in 1999, Erdy McHenry Architecture has garnered numerous national, regional, and local awards for its work across the country. SELLING POINTS: • Expertise in integrated design: client, consultants, contractors, and civic realm • Engaging with the Urban Context at a Human Scale: taking cues from the city, and creating places that elevate the human experience • Performative practice: working across a wide range of construction types, program typologies, and engaging with challenges and opportunities of material, project delivery, and design approach • Erdy McHenry Architecture's work celebrates place, program, and cultural relevancy while exploiting the conceptual potential of practicality, constructability, and responsive design • With collaboration as a core aspect of every project, Erdy McHenry Architecture promotes interaction with all stakeholders in the design process, promoting the belief that architecture is attainable for all project types, regardless of budget or program 200 colour images
