Abruzzo Bodziak Architects

Abruzzo Bodziak Architects is an architecture firm in Brooklyn, New York City, which was founded in 2009 by and , who first met as graduate students at the Princeton University School of Architecture. Abruzzo Bodziak’s work is known for a focus on contextually, use of light and color,^[1] and for material experimentation and graphic articulation.^[2]

The firm’s work is divided into “projects” (built works) and “investigations” (research-based initiatives and speculative proposals).^[3] The cross-pollination between the two is evident in projects such as Fitnation, a traveling exhibit that began at the New York Center for Architecture highlighting architectural projects that support health and wellness, for which Abruzzo and Bodziak served as both curators and designers.^[4] The office’s projects include civic buildings and cultural spaces,^[5] houses,^[6] installations,^[7] innovative educational spaces ^[8] and urban design.^[9][10] The firm’s investigations have focused on topics such as homelessness,^[11] unmeasurability in building,^[12] data-driven urban design,^[13] and new forms of housing.^[14] Projects such as “Storefront Library,” completed in 2018 for Storefront for Art and Architecture combine the firm’s interest in cultural programming with their investment in civic space.^[15]
