The firm was founded in 1976 by Architect Peter Kramer and named The Design Collective. Now it's the name of a dress shop on 26th Street. Our purpose was to provide experienced architectural services to community development corporations and non-profit neighborhood organizations doing housing rehabilitation, educational facilities, and health care projects.
In 1978 Robert Roscoe joined the firm and in 1983 Steve Kosowski added his special skills to our group. From 1979 to 1981 Susan Armstrong, Landscape Horticulturist, was a partner in the firm.

Remember, rules are meant to be broken, yet without rules there is no game. My own design rules are quite simple. I borrowed them from my friends at OUCH! The Folding Furniture Company. These rules encourage movement, action, useful work, curiosity and experimentation with objects. This requires the full use of your hands.
