Summer Travels: Creative Reset

Summer for CambridgeSeven means local jaunts, exotic excursions and, of course, architectural tours. Here we round up some notable travels by our staff this seasons to places near and far that fuel our design-fire and instill inspiration.

The Move: Mobilizing 50 years of Hard Work

Moving our office from our long-time home at 1050 Mass Ave. to 20 University Road was no small feat. So, how did we do it? With collaboration, patience, and maybe a few tears.

 

Timothy Mansfield

CambridgeSeven announced that Timothy Mansfield, AIA, NCARB, has been named President and CEO. Mansfield, who has practiced with the firm for 31 years, is an architect recognized nationally for his bold design aesthetic and leadership in the profession. With a focus on higher education institutions, aquariums, and sports heritage museums, Mansfield is known for creating powerful architecture and visitor experiences as well as leading the design and management of complex projects for a diverse set of clients. His significant work includes the dramatic Roux Institute at Northeastern University in Portland, ME, the Kansas Aquarium in Wichita, KS, the immersive San Francisco 49ers Museum in Santa Clara, CA, the Broad Discovery Center in Cambridge, MA, and the Stevens Science and Innovation Center at Westfield State University.

In addition to his dynamic project work, Mansfield enjoys mentoring young architects at CambridgeSeven, sharing with them his passion for design and lessons learned in the field. He also serves as a guest critic at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mass College of Art, and Wentworth Institute of Technology. Mansfield holds a Master of Architecture from MIT, and a BA in Architecture and English from Wesleyan University.

“It is an honor to serve as CambridgeSeven’s new President and CEO,” said Mansfield. “Having joined the firm when many of the original “Seven” were still active, I was fortunate to experience the distinctive collaboration and forward-thinking design ethos that is still a driving force and foundation of our practice. I look forward to continuing that design legacy with my partners and at the same time leading our younger, talented design staff in forging new horizons in architecture and further expanding CambridgeSeven’s impact as a global design powerhouse.”

As Mansfield steps into his new role, his predecessor Gary Johnson, AIA, will remain a key leader at the firm devoting his expertise toward project work, design, and mentoring the next generation of architects. CambridgeSeven also proudly announces the promotions of Adam Mitchell, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, to Principal in Charge of Sustainability, Douglas Flandro, LEED AP BD+C, ID+C, CPHC, to Director of Sustainability, Milad Zabeti, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, to Associate, and Brian Stanton, Controller, to Associate.
