Hollwich Kushner (HWKN) is a leading architecture rm based in New York City. Since winning the prestigious MoMA Young Architects Award in 2012 with the design Wendy, the rm has gone on to design buildings around the world and at all scales. HWKN merges the practical aspects of architecture with the irrational qualities of sculpture to deliver highly functional buildings that invite visceral aesthetic and emotional responses. The rm is lead by Matthias Hollwich and Marc Kushner, two thought leaders who have lectured widely, spoken at TED, and taught at Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania. Their new book, Architecture Can!, was released by Images Publishing in October 2018.
