Cultural spaces should inspire and engage their communities.
Working at every scale—from flagship civic buildings such as museums and performance halls, to smaller arts venues, public spaces, and installations—we seek to elevate and broaden the experience of creating and appreciating art in all its forms. Through deep community engagement, we strive to design accessible, inviting spaces where everyone feels welcome.
Our multidisciplinary expertise allows us to devise solutions that result in beautiful, enduring landmarks. For instance, SOM’s structural engineers have developed tools, techniques, and approaches that have enhanced the impact of public artworks installed around the world.
