2. Baird Sampson Neuert Architects
Baird Sampson Neuert is committed to excellence in design of
the built environment. The firm is an innovator in the field of
cultural and educational facilities planning and design. Its long
standing interest in human society and the design of public spaces
and institutions has led to a corollary commitment to the integration
of buildings with their environments. Both the built and planning
work consistently demonstrate dedication to the enrichment of public
life and culture through all scales of design. As result the firm has
received many design awards and recognition in international
publications and exhibitions for an unusually wide array of projects.
3. At BSN we have learned Green
Design is good process:
• “whole building design” produces
better buildings and innovation
• integration of built form and
landscape produces engaging
terrains for users and better cities
• applying first principles of
bioclimatic design creates new
possibilities of performance and form
• modeling outcomes tests creativity
and assumptions (design research)
• verifying results creates a positive
feedback loop for good design
• defining new problems transcends
„a priori forms‟ and re-energizes the
“modernist project”
