Tod Williams, along with his partner, Billie Tsien, founded their eponymous New York architecture office in 1986. Their studio focuses on work for institutions, including schools, museums, and nonprofit organizations committed to benefiting and inspiring their surrounding communities. Notable projects include the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, Asia Society Hong Kong Center, and in 2015, they were selected as the architects for the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. Over the past three decades, their dedication to this work has received numerous national and international citations including the National Medal of the Arts from President Obama and the Firm of the Year Award from the American Institute of Architects. They are deeply committed to making a better world through architecture.
Monthly drop-in Family Workshops at the AAM are designed to provide children and adults free opportunities to explore the galleries and create works of art on their own. Families are encouraged to communicate, reflect, and produce as artists together.
