Co-founded by Amale Andraos and Dan Wood, WORKac believes in the power of architecture and design to engage environmental and social concerns, and to create new possibilities for the future. The New York-based firm was the recipient of the 2023 Arts and Letters Award in Architecture, has been named the #1 design firm in the US by Architect Magazine, and selected as the AIA New York State “Firm of the Year.” The practice has achieved international acclaim for projects such as the Edible Schoolyards in Brooklyn and Harlem, public libraries in Queens, Brooklyn, and North Boulder, Colorado, the Blaffer Museum Expansion and Renovation at the University of Houston, the Miami Museum Garage, the Student Success Center at the Rhode Island School of Design, Building B in San Francisco’s all-electric Mission Rock community, and two community centres in Mexico City in collaboration with IUA. Current projects include the Beirut Museum of Art, the Sibley Dome Renovation at Cornell University, a strategic masterplan and library renovation for Vassar College, multiple renovations at Packer Collegiate Institute in Brooklyn, The People’s Theatre: Centro Cultural Inmigrante in Washington Heights, and a new Cultural Center in Muscat, Oman.
