The RMJM method: RMJM's output over 40 years reflects the story of post-war architecture, embracing public and private projects which eschew any house style but are linked by common themes

Article Abstract:

RMJM, an architectural practice, was founded by Robert Matthew and Stirrat Johnson-Marshall 40 years ago. The founding partners had different personalities, styles of management and ideological beliefs but were united in a common cause for a social architecture that combined the art and science of building. New Zealand House in London was one of the earliest projects, and the practice's contemporary commissions were diverse, including schools, support buildings for a generating station, and the Commonwealth Institute. There was an early concern for energy conservation and this is now a prominent feature in many of the practice's most recent buildings.
