“Meaningful design work begins by understanding how institutions evolve and creating corresponding spatial frameworks that support change.”
Rich Dengler believes design begins long before form; it begins with understanding how institutions grow and adapt over time. His work focuses on translating academic missions and complex research environments into spatial frameworks that support long-term institutional evolution. He approaches programming and planning as integral to design, developing adaptable strategies that enable resilient, high-performing academic communities.
