Paul Murdoch Architects creates design transformations for a regenerative future that is socially just, culturally rich and ecologically restorative. As a research driven design studio, we lead projects across a full spectrum of scale and typologies of objects, sites, and infrastructure. Our focus is on the multiple layers of issues and meanings of complex societies and is directed toward the development of communities and cultures. We also collaborate with diverse teams to address large-scale infrastructural needs of rapidly expanding urban populations. We use advanced digital technologies in our practice while providing hands-on, customized service. Our cultural and artistic work serves multiple networks of educational institutions, governmental bodies, and major corporations. The firm has pioneered some of the first sustainable design and policy initiatives in Los Angeles, recognized through commendations from the City “In recognition of outstanding citizenship… demonstrating the cost-effectiveness and feasibility of designing for the environment.” Architect magazine has recognized the firm as one of the Top 50 in the nation, saying, “Paul Murdoch Architects showed that small firms can compete with big multinationals," and the American Institute of Architects has honored Paul and Milena Murdoch as Architects of Healing for their roles as designers of the Flight 93 National Memorial.
