Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects, 1987 in Toronto gegründet, ist heute eines der interessantesten Büros in Nordamerika. Bekannt wurden sie mit ihren ästhetisch avancierten Entwürfen für Kulturinstitutionen wie das Toronto International Film Festival oder das Minnesota Orchestra in Minneapolis. Ein respektvoller, sensibler Umgang mit historischer Bausubstanz ist für zahlreiche ihrer Arbeiten charakteristisch – wie beispielsweise die National Ballet School in Toronto. Ökologisch innovative Konzepte wie für Manitoba Hydro Place in Winnipeg entstehen in enger Zusammenarbeit mit führenden Klimaingenieuren, hier mit Transsolar. Eigens für große Unternehmen oder Institutionen als Bauherren entwickelte KPMB den Ansatz des integrativen Entwurfsprozesses, der in mehreren Stufen zahlreiche Mitarbeiter – und somit spätere Nutzer des Gebäudes – einbezieht. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bilden Bildungseinrichtungen wie das Centre for Innovation and Governance Campus in Waterloo, Ontario und das Social Sciences Building für die Princeton University oder die Joseph L. Rotman School of Management in Toronto.

Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects, founded in 1987 in Toronto, is one of most innovative architectural offi ces in North America today. They have made a name for themselves both for their integrated design process embodying collaboration with experts, clients and future users as well as the diversity of their aesthetically refined and finely detailed designs. The work ranges from cultural institutions such as the Toronto International Film Festival and Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis to ecologically innovative concepts such as Manitoba Hydro Place in Winnipeg, developed with leading climate engineers Transsolar of Stuttgart. A respectful approach toward the integration of heritage buildings is also a characteristic feature, illustrated by the designs for the Royal Conservatory and the Gardiner Museum in Toronto. Finally, educational and research facilities are also a strong focus in KPMB’s work exemplified by the Centre for Innovation and Governance Campus in Waterloo, Ontario, and the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management in Toronto, as well as future projects for the Massachusetts Institute for Technology (MIT) and Princeton University in the United States.
