Richard Meier & Partners – A Lifetime of Achievement

Richard Meier’s firm has completed works in fifteen countries during more than forty years of design experience. With dual offices in New York and Los Angeles, their projects have spanned a wide range of civic, residential, corporate, and institutional buildings that regularly receive recognition as bold artistic statements with a classic sense of style and order. Meier’s skill as an architect earned him the holy grail of design awards in 1984, the Pritzker Prize for Architecture.

Notable standouts in Meier’s collection of accomplishments include several grand museums like the High Museum in Atlanta, Ara Pacis Museum in Rome, Barcelona’s Museum of Contemporary Art – eight years in the making and completed in 1995 – and the Frankfurt Museum for Decorative Arts.

Another Roman gem of Meier’s construction is the city’s Jubilee Church, a contemporary masterpiece of geometry bathed in natural light, is another of the firm’s best structures. The church stands as a unique counterpoint to the traditional architecture that surrounds the ancient Italian capital of religious culture.
