New New York, Reinvented Architecture: The New City Studio, TL Magazine special feature

This TL Mag feature profiles a group of New York design studios, including ABA, that push back against the idea that architecture must be fast, specialized or narrowly transactional. Instead, the selected firms draw on deep traditions of representation and craft to expand what architectural practice can be, embracing slower, more deliberate modes of work. The piece argues that these studios redefine public communication, professional identity and the role of training by producing work that is inventive, rigorous, and culturally engaged. Their projects balance imagination with precision, echoing Vitruvius’s enduring triad of firmness, commodity and delight in a contemporary, forward-looking form.
