Marble Fairbanks is an architecture, design and research office founded in 1992 by Scott Marble and Karen Fairbanks. We are committed to highly innovative design through research and analysis of the core issues surrounding each project. Building on the combined experience of our completed work and ongoing research, we approach every project as unique and search for original solutions. Our continuing connection to academia through teaching and participation in conferences and symposia inspires a creative working environment where theory and practice are informed by each other. Our working process is based on a highly collaborative team approach. Our most recent work has focused on cultural and institutional projects for public and private clients including Queens Library, Princeton University, Haverford College, Columbia University, The New School, The Museum of Modern Art, and New York University. Our research-based practice is at the forefront of discussions concerning digital technology, integrated design processes, and education.
