History
John Ruble and Buzz Yudell began a close-knit partnership with Charles Moore in 1977, founded on design collaboration, deep client engagement, and profound respect for qualities of place. Moore's wide-ranging practice became the model as the team took on residential design, places of worship, coastal town planning, and community workshops in the first few years. The practice advanced through international competition wins and strategic partnerships into areas such as research facilities, campus planning, and waterfront redevelopment. Its design methodology embraced deep client and community participation and a climate-responsive approach to sustainable building and planning, and the firm's influence and innovation were recognized with the national AIA Firm Award in 2006. Today its core focus on higher education supports interconnected work in architecture and planning, with civic work building on decades of design for the U.S. Department of State along with federal and state justice facilities, global work on urban housing and campus architecture, and local and regional engagement in K-12 and community college districts.
