Featured Firm - Gensler

Gensler is a global design and architecture firm headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Chicago, London, Dubai, Shanghai and other cities. The firm was founded by Art Gensler, Jim Follett, and Drue Gensler in 1965 originally focusing on corporate interiors. Gensler is credited for establishing the profession of corporate office design as distinct from the practice of architecture and interior decoration.

Today, Gensler is the largest architecture firm in the United States and in the world, as well as the most profitable[1]. It had employed almost 3,300 people in 34 offices worldwide before the recent economic downturn; attrition and staff reductions have lowered the number of employees to below 2,200. The firm specializes in multiple practices including: Commercial Office Buildings, Workplace, Retail, Airports, Hospitality, Education, Mixed-use & entertainment, planning and urban design, brand strategy, Mission Critical facilities and others.
