Architecture, the saying goes, is a verb. It's an ongoing process
of creating. For Brooklyn-based architects Jared Della Valle and Andrew
Bernheimer it is, more accurately, two verbs: think and make. Two words
that, when fused in the work of Della Valle Bernheimer, energize and
transform each otherarchitectural process as a feedback loop. Just a
decade into their practice, Della Valle Bernheimer has assembled an
impressive body of completed projects. Coveted commissions in New York
City include two high-profile condo towers in Chelsea and the renovation
of architect Paul Rudolph's landmark modernist apartment at 23 Beekman
Place. Think/Make documents twelve of the firm's most innovative
projects, ranging from residences to public commissions such as Federal
Plazain San Francisco; affordable housing units in the Bronx, New York; a
public swimming center in Aalborg, Denmark; and a proposal for the
reuse of New York City's Hudson Yards.
