This book presents a selection of GUND Partnership's recent work, reflecting the firm's continuing commitment to the social and narrative power of architecture. Beginning with a respect for the principles of site and context as form drivers, the projects seek to knit together mission and materials in new ways. Whether an urban or campus intervention or a pristine landscape, the most successful solutions are those that tie into their organizing context. At the same time, these projects acknowledge their surroundings without imitation through a commitment to human scale, as clear conception of space and its progression, and a desire to provide delight through the unexpected. Led by founding partner Graham Gund, FAIA, the office is located in a restored courthouse in Cambridge, Massachusetts, originally designed by Charles Bulfinch. The firm is the recipient of more that 100 regional and national design awards for excellence.

The work of R.M. Kliment and Frances Halsband Architects is always executed in a manner that is at once spare and engaging; with an esprit that is neither restricted nor self-indulgent; neither mean nor flamboyant. There is no intention to startle the masses, nor does it embody moderation. It is work that finds its own niche — economically, imaginatively, and purposefully. The firm's work bears an extraordinary sense of concern for human presence, demonstrating that architecture is a serious calling. The deep professionalism that it brings to its work, the intensity of its craft, and the disciplined artistry it embodies are only part of the picture. Its example and its active advocacy for thoughtful design are making a significant impact on the architectural profession.
