The architecture of Preston Scott Cohen is recognized for its exceptional combination of geometric and typological forms as well as its new approach to integrating buildings with their environments. His firm, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, works on projects of diverse scales and types, including houses, educational facilities, cultural institutions, and urban designs for private owners, institutions, government agencies, and corporations. Recent projects include Datong City Library, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art Amir Building, the Taiyuan Museum of Art (which won the 2010 Progressive Architecture Award), and the Nanjing Performing Arts Center. Cohen is chair of the Department of Architecture and the Gerald M. McCue Professor of Architecture at Harvard University Graduate School of Design.
