Karen Bausman + Associates has won wide recognition as one of the leading voices in the field of architecture for our ability to integrate architecture, art, infrastructure, and landscape design. Recently, the City of New York awarded our firm a design excellence contract as part of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s ambitious effort to bring the best ideas and technology architects have to offer to city-financed projects, especially in the quickly evolving area of sustainable design at environmentally sensitive waterfront sites where new recreational and cultural structures are being planned.
