Cambridge Seven Associates
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Cambridge Seven Associates, Inc. (C7A) is an American architecture firm founded in 1962 and based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The firm was founded upon the idea that the collaborative efforts of a varied group of designers and architects would be far more effective than those of any one individual. In writing about the firm, the architecture critic Robert Campbell stated, "From the start, the Seven set out to combine architecture with the other design arts - with exhibits, with graphics, and signage, with public art, with product design, with film, even with city planning. Most of their work is a collaboration among many disciplines..."[1] The practice won the American Institute of Architects Architecture Firm Award in 1993, and was described by the AIA Committee on Design as "an influential and stimulating example, demonstrating new directions of professional practice."[2]
Cambridge Seven Associates have undertaken work in architecture, urban design, planning, exhibitions, graphic, and interior design. The firm has executed a diverse range of building types including academic, museum, exhibit, hospitality, transportation, retail, office, and aquarium facilities. The firm has practiced throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with an annual revenue of over US$26 million in 2014.[3]
