Mission

To approach the complexities of design by staying true to the belief that great places are made through collaborative processes that build community connections, integrate multiple points of view and ultimately result in authentic experiences of place.

A few core values and qualities that define our firm…

Community Engagement

At Form + Place, we strive to be actively involved in our community, not only by writing meaningful “idea” pieces but by participating in philanthropic activities and engaging in forums on topics that shape the way we live. We have led Technical Assistance Panels organized to brainstorm solutions to economic development, climate resiliency and urban design challenges in a broad range of municipalities; we have led community forums to test the impacts of proposed zoning criteria and design guidelines on the quality of future development; we have actively engaged a broad range of New England communities through participation on real estate advisory committees; we have collaborated on a national Urban Land Institute panel designed to explore the underlying tenets of “creative place-making.” Active engagement is one of the most fundamental ways to give back to the community, stay informed and help to shape the current dialogue.
