BNIM -- Increasing the Vitality of People & Planet through Architecture

BNIM is an architecture firm that has five main locations in Kansas City, Des Moines, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Houston. Other than creating beautiful buildings, BNIM's central goal is to use their teams to use their buildings to inspire change and enhance the human condition. This firm has created hundreds of beautiful buildings and spaces using their idea of "Generous Pragmatism," a thoughtful, strategic balance between beauty and performance. Their designs are ethical and their ideas are indeed a challenge, but as they look to what has been done in the past, they continue to seek architecture that is environmentally ethic. BNIM is famous for using their unique design approach that they call "High-Performance Integrated Design" (HPID). While using HPID, they strive to produce architecture that is environmentally responsible, functionally appropriate, responsive to locale, and beautiful.
