Reimagining Moffitt Library at UC Berkeley
In anticipation of the 2018 AIA Kansas City Design Excellence Awards Gala, we are looking back at our projects that we were honored to have recognized in the 2017 awards.
We live in an incredibly interesting, dynamic time full of disruption, upheaval, and innovation.
The renovation of 2460 Pershing builds upon the foundation created by BNIM’s history. Since the firm was founded in Kansas City more than 45 years ago, BNIM has impacted catalytic change through the intentional location of its offices — reviving historic buildings, creating dynamic connections in the urban core, and contributing to the vibrancy of a revitalized city. BNIM’s offices at 2460 Pershing is another addition to this legacy and evidence of our commitment to building positive in our communities.
By the year 2050, 75 percent of the world’s population will live in cities. BNIM’s Landscape Studio is responding to this profound change by using the power of design to meet the urban challenges of tomorrow and transform the places we live.
Our practice builds inspiring, integrated experiences between people and place, designing our collective future in these key ways:
The New York Times, in its piece entitled “Dear Amazon, We Picked Your New Headquarters For You,” dismissed Kansas City as a real contender in the race to attract Amazon and 50,000 jobs to Kansas City. In direct contrast, PC Magazine picked Kansas City as its number one choice for all of the right reasons.
