The Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams, MA, (MASS MoCA) is the result of the work done by Henry Moss and Simeon Bruner of the Cambridge, MA-based architectural firm Bruner/Cott and Associates. The $20-million project, the brainchild of Thomas Krens and Joseph Thompson, is composed of 27 brick buildings with a total area of 750,000 sq-ft that were formerly owned by the Sprague Electric Co. MASS MoCA, a tribute to the 19th-century industrial complex, opened its doors on May 30, 1999.

Adobe abode
Article Abstract:
The architectural firm NBBJ was commissioned by software company Adobe Systems to design their headquarters in Seattle, WA. To make the buildings of Adobe Systems blend with the funkiness of the adjoining neighborhood, architects of NBBJ placed squarish multipaned windows along the length of the three-story structures. They also put up masonry facades. Furthermore, the interiors were designed to be comfortable so as to encourage youthful creativity among employees.
