鼓舞人心的建筑，以人为本

Inspirational Architecture for People

NOV 2009 · CREATIVE DESIGN SOURCE 03

When the Pioneer Academy in New York City opened its doors last fall, students and teachers were heard to exclaim: Wow, this is a school? The 97,000 square foot building by PKSB Architects, with its dramatic double height lobby and bold, colorful art-commis-sioned mural, had achieved its ultimate goal: to inspire. For over 40 years, the award-winning PKSB firm has been in the forefront of design innovation – with an ever-expanding portfolio that includes academic, residential, religious, hospitality, civic, infrastructure and preservation projects. A noted architectural critic recently described the firm’s work as “making a framework for life.” This statement is certainly evident in the Pioneer Academy, as it is in every project completed by PKSB, a firm dedicated to creating buildings that better the lives of the people who experience them.

Since its origins in 1964, PKSB has gained recognition for their exquisite attention to detail and a refined modern aesthetic. But beyond their dedication to good design, the firm is deeply rooted in a “people-first” vision of architecture. As lead principal Henry Stolzman states, “PKSB’s architecture is an architecture that really gets to the human use of space. Our work looks beyond itself and recognizes that it is part of something bigger, part of a greater purpose.”

去年秋季，当纽约市先锋学院敞开大门的时候，学生及教师们都听到了惊呼：“哇噢，这是学校吗？”由PKSB公司建设的97,000平方英尺大楼，令人赞叹的两层楼高的门厅，大胆而丰富多彩的艺术壁画，这已达到了他们的最终目标：鼓舞人心。40多年来，备受赞誉的PKSB公司通过不断扩大设计项目范围，一直活跃在设计创新领域的前沿，包括学校、住宅、宗教、酒店、城市、公共基础设施及建筑保存项目。最近，一位著名的建筑评论家将公司的作品评论为“建筑人生的框架”。这一评论无疑在先锋学院中体现了出来，因为对于PKSB设计完成的每个项目，公司都致力于为那些生活的人们创建出更好的生活。

自1964年公司创建以来，PKSB以其敏锐地细节设计及精致的现代美学而得到认可。但是，他们除了致力于优秀的设计以外，公司对于建筑深深地扎根于“以人为本”的理念。首席负责人Henry Stolzman认为：“PKSB设计的建筑是真正利用起了人们的日常空间。我们的工作远远超越了其本身，并认识到它是某些更为宏大的目标的一部分。

The three principals of PKSB Architects are dedicated architects who share a common purpose: to create inspirational architecture for people. They are also individuals with unique history and mul-tiple interests.

Henry Stolzman, FAIA has been a partner with the firm since 1986 when it was called Pasanella + Klein Stolzman + Berg. A former high school teacher prior to becoming an architect, he is renowned for his portfolio of award-winning sacred spaces and as co-author of the recently published book, “Synagogue Architecture in Ameri-ca: Faith, Spirit and Identity.”

Sherida E. Paulsen, FAIA is currently president of the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects where the theme of her presidency is Design Literacy. A former Landmark Commis-sioner, she has played a prominent role in the urban development and preservation of New York City. She is an in-demand speaker and has appeared on countless panels and symposiums.

William Fellows, AIA, a former professor at the Columbia Univer-sity School of Architecture, has designed a number of high pro-file civic spaces in New York City, including the New York Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the multiple award-winning Father Duffy Square in Times Square.

The three principals are directly involved in each project. The firm’s studio approach to design values every member of the project team. Young architects work closely with senior staff to gain a full understanding of the practice of architecture. This supportive envi-ronment has allowed the firm to thrive over the last four decades, giving a consistent vocabulary to the work while always remaining fresh and current.

PKSB 的合伙人是三位敬业的建筑师，他们有着一个共同的目标：构建以人为本的建筑。他们各自拥有独特的经历和贡献。

Henry Stolzman, FAIA1 - 亨利.斯多子曼从1986起便成为公司合伙人。在成为建筑师之前曾任职小学教师的亨利，在其杰出的业绩中有获得诸多奖项的宗教型建筑，并著书：美国犹太教堂建筑：信仰、精神和特征。

Sherida E. Paulsen, FAIA1 - 谢睿妲.帕森目前担任美国建筑师协会纽约部主席，她的任期目标是普及设计教育。曾担任过历史建筑保护协会主席的她为纽约市的城市发展和维护做出了重要贡献。她是业内研讨会上不可缺少的发言人。

William Fellows, AIA2 - 威廉.梵楼思曾任教于哥伦比亚大学建筑系，设计作品中包括多个荣获诸多奖项的公共空间，其中有纽约越战纪念碑和时代广场的杜菲神父广场。

三位合伙人始终参与每一个项目。公司在设计过程中看重每一个设计成员的贡献，年轻的建筑师通过与资深建筑师的合作从而对建筑的实践有更深的了解。在这种互相支持的氛围中，公司在过去的四十年中创下辉煌的业绩，在设计中不断的滋生出新的建筑语言，从而始终站在了时尚美学的前沿。

PKSB has always been a leader in pro-gressive architecture. Part of what defines PKSB’s work is a willingness to take risks and defy common expectations.

Two projects that exemplify PKSB’s leader-ship role in re-adaptive use and sustain-able practices are the Twin Peaks Projects in the Bronx and the Asphalt Green Com-munity Center in Manhattan. Both projects required PKSB to develop solutions that at the time were considered revolutionary. In 1969, the Twin Parks Projects offered an exciting alternative for public housing. The architects came up with an ingenious method for laying out each unit as a split-level house within a larger whole. This way of looking at distribution of program was entirely original at the time. The buildings

reduced the number of corridors, maxi-mized light and air, and offered dynamic, articulated living spaces, which still reso-nate today. These early housing projects won the praise of the Housing Authority as they were some of the first to demonstrate the economic viability of the split-level sec-tion type for publicly aided housing. The Asphalt Green Community Center is one of the first examples of adaptive re-use. In fact, the firm won several awards for its innovative reuse of the former as-phalt plant’s infrastructure. Completed in 1978, the project was ahead of its time in the movement toward sustainability and was one of the first considerations of geo-thermal energy in New York City.

PKSB在先锋建筑领域里一直都是领导者。PKSB的建筑代表作品大多体现在它们的愿意承担风险，且蔑视常规定义而出其不意的创意。

有两个项目体现了PKSB在再利用及可持续实践领域的领导地位，一是纽约布朗克斯区双子公园项目，另一个是曼哈顿绿色沥青社区中心。这两个项目要求PKSB提交的解决方案在当时来说是具有革命性。1969年，双子公园项目为公共住房提供了项令人兴奋地

选择，建筑师们利用巧妙地方法在一个较大的空间整体里把每单位设计成了错层式的结构。在当时，以这种方式设计所分配的任务是完全具有独创性的。这些大楼减少了走廊的数量，最大限度地利用了光线及通风，并且提供了动态整体性的生活空间，至今引人共鸣。这些早期的住房项目赢得了住房管理局的称赞，因为它们为国家资助建造的住房首次展示出错层式的经济适用性。

绿色沥青社区中心就是适用性再利用的首个例子之一。事实上，公司因为创意性的再利用以前沥青厂的基础设施而获得过无数奖项。该项目于1978年完成，超越了时代，走向了可持续发展的潮流，并且成为纽约市首个考虑地热能利用的项目。

Out of the firm’s desire to reinvent, re-imagine and re-invigorate, often entirely new inventions emerge in some unexpected places. A prime example can be seen in the Stabile Hall Dormitory for Architecture and Design students at Pratt Institute. Here, the architects divided the rooms into three distinct blocks, giving both scale and identity to the dormitories. Within each block, shared studio spaces were inserted, reinforcing the notion of collaboration and interchange that is central to an arts education.

超出公司的愿望，即重塑、再想象、振兴，往往在一些意想不到的地方会出现些全新的创意。普拉特学院里建筑与设计系学生们的斯塔比尔厅宿舍就是一个典型的代表作品。在这儿，建筑师们敏锐地扑捉到了这个夹在小型私人住宅和大型工业建筑之间的地块的特殊性，从而在夹心地带的西南角设计一个画廊和艺术家住宅工作室的街道型方阵，使建筑与其独特的背景相呼应。这个计划的创意为建筑增加了独特的元素，充实了协作与交流的概念，体现出了那是艺术教育的中心。

At Reed Library, the architects provided unity and clarity for the SUNY Fredonia campus. The freestanding addition acts as a link between the campus designed by I.M. Pei and Partners and the original neo-colonial campus. The building utilizes a vocabulary that speaks to the heroic Pei campus while humanizing its scale. A unique approach to program is manifested in the cylindrical silo that houses the rare books collection. The “jewel” of the project stands as a sculptural link between the four buildings of the complex.

The renovation of a firehouse for City Col-lege of New York is a prime example of adaptive reuse of a historic structure. PKSB is converting the building into a gallery and artist studios, reinventing the program and configuring the space to fit new require-ments. Moreover, the gallery will serve as a classroom and community space for the surrounding neighborhood. Effectively, the design recreates a new use for an old building and transforms it into a center for both the University and the community.

PKSB’s original, inventive solutions provide users with a unique sense of place and a sense of identity that helps shape their academic experiences.

对于里德图书馆来说，建筑师们对纽约州立大学的弗立都纳校园的空间作了清晰的调整。PKSB新设计的建筑有机的把贝聿铭设计的校园部分与原有的殖民地复古风格的校园连为一体。这个建筑所采用的建筑语言与英雄主义时代贝聿铭校园相呼应但同时使它的比例更人性化。独特的设计方案清晰体现于一个圆筒仓，那是珍贵图书收集的地方。这个项目的闪光点在于复杂的四个建筑由一个雕塑连为一体。

为纽约市立大学翻新消防站是另一个历史性结构改造性再利用的典型代表。PKSB把这个建筑改建成了展览馆与艺术家工作室，重塑规划并根据新的需求配置了空间。此外，展览馆将可利用成为教室和周围社区的活动场所。这样的设计有效地赋予了旧建筑新的使用价值，并且使其同时成为了大学和社区的中心。

就是这些独创的，有新意的附加物给PKSB设计的建筑带来了个性。但是，更为重要的一点是，他们让使用者们体验到了独特的地域感与认同感，帮助形成他们的学术经历。

PKSB设计的剧场为学校带来了活力，吸引了更多的学生前来报名。

PKSB learned long ago that the best en-vironments for learning offer opportunities for social interaction beyond the class-room. At the Pioneer Academy, gracious public amenities like the auditorium (be-low) are strategically located throughout the school’s open plan, giving students access and ownership to spaces they can be proud of. The massing and layout of the building is responsive to its confined urban site. The main entry and secondary entry are located on opposite ends of a grand lobby, creating an interior street that bleeds out onto the sidewalk. This offers space for students and parents to congregate before and after school – an important aspect of their day to day experience.

Recognizing the school’s outstanding de-sign, Mayor Bloomberg selected it as the venue for delivering his 2008 State of the City address to demonstrate the success of his efforts to build better schools

PKSB很早之前就意识到最佳的学习环境能够为课堂之外的社交提供机会。在先锋学院，宽敞的公共设施，比如剧场（下图）被错落有致的布局，贯穿学校的敞开式平面，大厅也起到了“前院”的作用，学生们自由地使用，成为真正自豪的小主人们。当我们生活在狭小的城市中时，只有有限的（或根本没有）室外的活动场所时，那么这些内部的大空间就变成了必需。

学校杰出的设计得到了公众的好评， Bloomberg市长把这里作为了他2008年城市演讲的会场，以此充分证明他成功的为建设更好的学校所付出的努力。

At Primary and Intermediate School 89 in Lower Manhattan, the firm took a unique approach to an oddly-shaped site. The ar-chitects decided let the interior mimic the winding, narrow streets outside. The result is a layout that resembles more a village than a typical academic facility. Corridors are treated as public streets; classrooms are envisioned as private homes; shared facilities such as the cafeteria, gym, library and dance studio act as the town’s civic buildings, each sitting at the intersection of “streets” which form a “town center.” The “town centers” were an entirely original ad-dition to the school’s program and have proven to be effective spaces for learning

and development. PKSB has extended this concept of learning space to all of their educational designs, including their work at the Allen Stevenson School. “The role of buildings is to support the people and what they do, how they come together,” says Da-vid Trower, Headmaster at Allen Stevenson. “We needed architects who would under-stand that intuitively.” PKSB’s educational spaces exhibit an innate understanding of those powerful social interactions.

位于曼哈顿下城区的第89中学，公司对一块形状怪异的场地采用了独特的设计方案，建筑师们决定在内部模仿外边弯曲狭窄的街道。整体布局表现出来的乡村气息更甚于一所典型的教育机构。走廊就像公共的街道，教室设想成私人住宅，公用设施，例如餐厅、体育馆、图书馆和舞蹈教室都成了镇上的民用建筑，每个都坐落于从‘镇中心’幅射出来的‘街道’的交叉口上。‘镇中心’则是学校规划里完全首创的扩建设计，这个空间的设计对学习和发展都起到了有效地作用。PKSB采用了崭新的视角来看待学校的设计，也包括他们所有的教育项目。设计中经常纳入沙滩、陈列柜、宏伟的楼梯、或是剧场座椅等设计，这些空间促进了社区意识，并为建筑平添了新鲜的生活气息。

In his book “Synagogue Architecture in America: Faith, Spirit and Identity,” Stolzman, goes on to explain that many of today’s reli-gious spaces are no longer sanctuaries from this world but rather places where congregations come together to celebrate commu-nity and nature as part of the religious experience. Following these parameters, the firm’s designs for religious projects are intimate in scale, natural in choice of materials and inspire communal prayer.

ented to the east and to Jerusalem. In the design of Buddhafield, a retreat center in upstate New York, the chapel again faces east where the sun rises – for Buddhists this is the ideal orientation for meditating.

In all their religious projects, the firm estab-lishes architecture of identity… an architec-ture that embraces the community’s shared heritage but firmly looks to the future.

在《美国犹太教堂建筑：信仰、精神和特征》一书中，斯多子曼解释道，现今众多的宗教场所已不再是这个世界的避难所，而是作为宗教的一部分，教堂会众聚集在一起用来庆祝社会与自然的地方。根据这些因素，公司针对宗教类项目设计时注重规模的紧密型，材料的自然性及公共祈祷的灵感。

“在设计神圣的空间时，我感到我们作为建筑师是有责任把对大地的尊重融入到设计中的”斯多子曼说“庆祝自然是爱主的重要部分.”遵循犹太教传统，礼拜堂是面向东方及耶路撒冷的。在设计位于纽约上州的佛教静修堂时，小教堂再次面向了东方—太阳升起的地方，对佛教徒来说那是打坐的理想方向。

PKSB has been part of a new vision toward preservation in New York. Sherida Paulsen, a principal at PKSB, is president of the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and has served as chair of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. As an architect, civil servant and leader, she has helped to enhance the quality of the civic realm in New York. Be-yond simply historic restoration, Ms. Pauls-en emphasizes that “preservation can be a catalyst for future buildings of landmark quality.” In PKSB’s preservation work, past and present come together in a dialogue about the future. Within this framework, the firm has carefully honed a unique ability to blend the new with the old.

Upcoming renovations to the well-known Tavern on the Green in Central Park will preserve one of New York’s longest run-ning dining destinations while bringing it up to date with current restaurant culture. New design elements will be mixed in with the restoration of this impressive, historic facility. The firm has also completed a fea-sibility study for a high rise building in Mid-town New York that incorporates existing late nineteenth and early twentieth century buildings. An original approach to complex zoning and preservation issues, the project establishes a new ground plane 85 feet above the street in order to preserve the buildings in their entirety.

In the twenty-first century, the notion of ar-chitectural preservation is evolving. PKSB was one of the first firms to approach the challenge of preserving a Modernist build-ing that in its original conception chal-lenged the conventions of the past. The Seagram Building, completed in 1958, is the only building in New York designed by Mies van der Rohe. PKSB has served as its curator and architect-in-residence, main-taining the integrity of the iconic exterior as well as the building’s interior spaces. The firm’s exceptional work maintaining the Seagram Building has contributed to the safeguarding of many other twentieth cen-tury architectural masterpieces.

PKSB跻身于纽约历史建筑保护的创新者，合伙人建筑师之一的谢睿妲.帕森是美国建筑师协会纽约分部主席，并且是历史建筑保护协会的专员。她把公司对于建筑保持的方案看作为“过去与现在的协同”。PKSB往往被委托要求在历史古迹间创造出新的空间，公司在不断磨练中产生独特的能力，驾驭于创新与历史之间。

As PKSB’s approach to preservation blends the new with the old, their planning projects merge new developments with existing communities. Each of the firm’s planning projects takes careful consideration of the community’s role in shaping the built environment. This is perhaps best seen in the firm’s master plan to develop Kedem Winery Campus, an industrial site on Williamsburg’s waterfront, for residential use. Located in a primarily Hasidic community, the project has been designed specifically with its residents in mind. A synagogue has been incorporated at the mid level of the high rise to meet the daily and festival religious service needs of the community. Additionally, each apartment features an unobstructed open air terrace to allow for the construction of Sukkahs which are used during the Jewish holiday of Sukkoth.

At the New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Westchester Division, PKSB has completed a Master Plan for the 214-acre campus. The complex plan involves multiple developers and provides opportunities to significantly enhance public open space and recreation resources for White Plains community while preserving and maintaining the historic district and campus character.

PKSB’s master plan for Cooper Union college in New York’s lively East Village area meets the aspirations of the school and the community in an effort to improve the economic and cultural life of the neighborhood. The plan outlines new guidelines for urban planning that allow for the expression of contemporary art and technology within new buildings and streetscapes. These new 21st century expressions are juxtaposed with the historic campus, creating a harmonious marriage between old and new uses of architecture.

由于PKSB保存建筑的方法是将新与旧相融合，因此他们的规划项目将把现存的社区与新的发展相结合。公司的每个规划项目都会仔细考虑社区在造就建筑环境中所起到的作用。这点或许能在公司的中体规划项目-肯丹社区发展计划-中很好地体现出来。这是一块在威廉斯堡海滨的过去的工业重地，改用于住宅项目。该项目主要位于犹太社区，设计时特别考虑到了当地居民。根据社区的需求，犹太教堂与高层建筑相融合，迎合日常和节日里的宗教服务需要。另外，每间公寓都有一个通畅的露天阳台，便于犹太教住棚节的小屋的建造。

“You are where you live.”Henry Stolzman

“环境造人”

DESIGN EXPLORATION

“You are where you live….”

Says Henry Stolzman. “So much of who we are is defined by our homes which reflect not just our status in life but also how we choose to project ourselves. Especially when designed by an architect, the house can express the owner’s deepest aspira-tions.”

In keeping with this notion PKSB begins their residential design process by first get-ting a true sense of the client, their inter-ests and passions. The design takes cues from these initial meetings rather than from previous projects. Faced with the sensi-tive task of designing a home, the archi-tects are careful not to impose their own personal preferences and aesthetic signa-tures. “The home should be emblematic of the owner, not the architect.” As a result, PKSB’s residential projects are incredibly diverse, linked by the firm’s exquisite atten-tion to detail.

The Root Residence in Ormond Beach, Florida celebrates craftsmanship and ma-teriality reflecting the couple’s love of the handmade object. The architects worked closely with the fabricators to produce me-ticulous architectural details that expose the natural character of the materials and their methods of construction. Though grand in scale, the bold expression of tectonics es-tablishes a rough, natural aesthetic indica-tive of the client’s informal life style.

“环境造人”

亨利.斯多子曼这么说：“我们这么多人都是被我们的家所界定，家反映的不仅仅是我们的生活状态，还投射出我们如何选择自己的生活。特别是当建筑师设计房子时，这所房子能够反映出屋主最热烈的意志。”

正是根据这样的理念，PKSB开始了它们住宅设计的工程，从把握客户真正的需求，他们的兴趣和爱好开始。设计从最初的会晤中找到线索，而不是根据以往项目的经验。面对设计一个家这样敏感的任务，建筑师们很小心地避免把自己个人的偏好和审美观表现出来。“家应该是屋主的象征，而不是建筑师的。”因此，由于PKSB对于细节的敏锐关注，他们的住宅项目难以置信地多样化。

奥蒙德海滩的汝特住宅是是工艺和实质形式的赞美，通过手工制作表现出了夫妇之爱。建筑师们与制作者们合作无间，通过一丝不苟的建筑细节展现了材料的天然特性和制作者们的创作构思。虽然规模大，但其构造大胆，粗旷、自然的审美表现出了客户不拘小节的生活方式。


DESIGN EXPLORATION

Other residential projects take different design directions but each reflects the owner’s values on home life. For many of these projects the client’s art collection is the centerpiece of the overall design.

One Fifth Avenue residence was designed with a stark minimalist approach so that the owner’s ever-evolving collection of modern objects and sculpture could command the space. Across the park at an apartment for a client whose collection is American Primitive artwork the setting is consider-ably softer. “Our guests will all be family…eating pizza and drinking beer, so make it comfortable.” PKSB’s solution for this fam-ily creates a comfortable living space that is simultaneously an elegant backdrop for their collection. Though thoroughly mod-ern, the design carries a Shaker sensibil-ity, utilizing sturdy materials and simple, streamlined details.

For a client with a museum quality collec-tion of Josef Hoffman furniture, PKSB de-signed a residence within which the seces-sionist furnishings blend perfectly. Custom designed light fixtures, door hardware and millwork evoke the architecture of the col-lection’s origins.

As in all of PKSB’s work, these homes es-tablish an identity that is unique to the in-habitants of each space. By answering the client’s individual visions of home, rather than the whims and trends of the moment, these projects transcend time.

PKSB’s first “Hotel of the Year” hospitality design award surprised the industry. How could a small hotel be rated the best of the year? By the time the firm won its second Hotel of the Year award just two years later, their innovative approach – later dubbed as designer boutique hotels – had become a new design standard. While trend-setting and stylishly slick, the hotels maintain the firm’s commitment to scale, comfort and individual dignity.

PKSB holds the mantra that every success-ful hotel is a theme hotel where all design elements work together to create a cohe-sive whole. In each of their commissions, the firm orchestrates every design selec-tion. Materials, artwork, graphics, furnish-ings, bed linens and even the staff uniforms conform to the overall branding of the facil-ity and the guest’s overnight experience.

PKSB的口号是每家成功的酒店都是主题酒店，所有的设计元素共同努力创造出有凝聚力的整体。在他们的每一个委托任务里，每一个设计的选择都是经过公司精心安排的。原材料、工艺、图形、家具、床用亚麻制品，甚至是员工制服都与整体品牌设施及酒店顾客住店体验相符合。“我们始终把建筑设计看成超越以本身功能的设计.”斯多子曼这么解释.

New York City is more than just PKSB’s location. It is their home. The principals and staff at PKSB all share a deep love for the city and that shows through their work. The firm has played a major role in the recent revitalization of various neighbor-hoods throughout the community with their groundbreaking new designs.

In the cases of Williamsburg and the Port Authority, unconventional and unexpected choices brought new-found pride to the community. The Williamsburg Community Center wanted a building that would be as accessible as possible to all of the com-munity. That message is reflected in the ar-chitects’ entirely open design. Transparent glass walls line the gymnasium, bringing life and vitality to the street. This bustling new building has become the centerpiece of an existing public housing project.

PKSB won a competition to renovate the vehicular bridges of the Port Authority Bus Terminal with a design that transformed in-frastructure into art. The high tech design revitalizes a previously dark and ominous streetscape. The bridges have now be-come a glowing landmark and a visual icon within the neighborhood.

At Father Duffy Square, PKSB brings a sense of order and rationality amidst the chaos of Times Square. This is the first en-deavor to create a viable public space with-in the competitive commercial area. Rec-ognized with a 2009 AIA Design Award, the plaza’s success has inspired further efforts to reclaim civic space in the neighborhood. The newfound civic pride at Times Square is something that the firm strives for in all of its projects and it is a true testament to the enduring quality of their work.

In looking through PKSB’s portfolio, every project exhibits some sense of civic duty. Principal William Fellows describes the varied projects as all having “a consistent thematic sense of being part of a collective – part of something bigger.” Like the popu-lation they serve, PKSB’s work is diverse, vital and strives to make connections. “We want to make spaces for people that in-spire them to do whatever it is they have to do in that space,” says Henry Stolzman. “Whether it’s prayer, social meaning or learning.” By taking a consistent humanis-tic approach to their diverse range of work, PKSB creates innovative, inspirational so-lutions for projects of every size, scale and type.

纽约市不仅仅是PKSB的办公点，那是他们的家。PKSB的负责人与员工们对这个城市充满了热爱，并用他们的作品体现了出来。最近，公司用突破性的新设计在遍及整个城市的各街道振兴活动中起到了主要作用。

PKSB在纽约公交汽车总站行车桥的翻新项目上，将基建设施转变成艺术的设计赢得了竞赛。高科技的设计振兴了先前黑暗可怕的街景。行车桥现在成为了鲜明的路标，是社区里可见的标志。

威廉斯堡社区中心希望能有一座建筑尽可能的融入整个社区，这一理念在建筑师完全开放的设计中反映了出来。透明玻璃墙线的体育馆，为街道带来了生机与活力。这座喧闹的新建筑已成为现有的公共住房项目的核心。在威廉斯堡及公交汽车总站的项目里，非常规且令人意想不到的选择为社区建设带来了新的骄傲。

在神父杜菲广场，PKSB带了以一种秩序感，以理性来面对时代广场的混乱。这是首次在竞争激烈的商业领域里努力创造出独立发展的公共空间。在获得2009年美国

建筑师协会颁布的设计奖后，该广场的成功激起在城市中重建设区空间的热情。“我们可以从神父杜菲广场学到许多，以崭新的眼光看待时代广场。”—威廉.梵楼思，是PKSB合伙人及神父杜菲广场重设计的首席设计师。新发现的市民对于时代广场的骄傲是公司在所有项目中都一直为之努力奋斗的，并且这是一项对于他们工作保持持久品质的真正测试。

回顾PKSB的代表作品，每个项目都体现出了一些公民的责任感。合伙人威廉.梵楼思认为许多项目都是“作为集体的一部分，拥有一致的主题意识，是某些大范围事物的一部分”。就像他们为之服务的人群，PKSB的工作是形形色色，不可缺少的，他们努力创造联结点。“我们希望为人们创造空间，从而激励人们在那个空间里做他们想做的任何事。”亨利.斯多子曼说：“不论是祈祷，还是社会意义，或是学习”。他们工作范围多样化，但通过一致的人文主义的设计方法，PKSB为各种特性、规模及类型的项目找到了创新且鼓舞人心的方案。
