Above: Engine Company 277, in Brooklyn, designed by STV, Inc. through the Design and Construction Excellence program.
DDC has been leading and developing Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s Design and Construction Excellence (D+CE) program since 2004. D+CE enables New York City to aggressively pursue an innovative and ambitious public works program in partnership with the most creative and experienced design professionals in the world. Its strategies focus on new procurement methods, new business policies aimed at enhancing project management, developing more accurate project scheduling guidelines, tightening the budget process and creating contemporary continuing education and evaluation standards. A hallmark of this program is the adoption of quality-based selection for procurement of design services. This process allows the City to hire firms based on their qualifications and the established quality of their past work, rather than the more traditional lowest bid methodology.
The 28 firms in the D+CE program are: Architecture Research Office (ARO); Asymptote Architecture; Atelier Pagnamenta Torriani Architects & Planners LLP; Audrey Matlock Architect; Belmont Freeman Architects; Bentel & Bentel, Architects/Planners; BKSK Architects LLP; BWA|de.Sign (Basil Water Architects and de.Sign); Charles Rose Architects Inc.; Dean / Wolf Architects; Della Valle Bernheimer; Garrison Architects; Gray Organschi Architecture; Huff + Gooden Architects; Leeser Architecture; LTL Architects (Lewis Tsurumaki Lewis); Murphy Burnham & Buttrick Architects; Ogawa/Depardon Architects; Rogers Marvel Architects, PLLC; Slade Architecture; Snohetta AS; Toshiko Mori Architect; TEN Arquitectos; Thomas Phifer and Partners; Wallance + Hibbs Architects; WORKAC (WORK Architecture Company); Selldorf Architects; Grimshaw Architects
