2017 ARCHITECT 50: TOP 50 FIRMS IN BUSINESS

We’ve been hearing it for years: mid-sized architecture firms are in trouble, squeezed by ambitious small practices on one side and jack-of-all-trades global megafirms on the other. That’s not the case for New York–based FXFowle Architects, however. “We’re one of those firms that have really claimed the middle, and own it,” says senior partner Dan Kaplan, FAIA. “We feel that in the era of very large design organizations, there’s a lack of nimbleness maybe, and a lack of personal touch. Yet for our size, in the age of leveraging technology, there’s nothing we can’t do.”
