Located in New York City since the founding of the practice in 1963, Polshek Partnership is known for architectural excellence and a longstanding commitment to cultural, educational, governmental and scientific institutions. The seven partners believe that the most elegant architectural responses are both technically and socially relevant to their time and place. The firm's architectural solutions are rooted in a collaborative process and extensive research involving analysis of context, program, public image and environment and construction technologies. Its commitment to dynamic solutions for hard-to-solve problems has led to the completion of hundreds of projects around the world and important contributions to the cultural life of their cities. Among the most notable projects are the Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, the just-opened entry plaza and pavilion at the Brooklyn Museum in New York, the Judy and Arthur Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York City, the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center in Mashantucket, Connecticut, the Center for the Arts Theater at Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco, and the soon-to-be-completed William J. Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas.
