History

The modern firm was created in 1979 through the merger of the firm of Philadelphia-based architects John F. Larkin and Bernard Cywinski and that of Peter Bohlin, whose architectural firm was based in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, at the time.[1] According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, Bohlin and Cywinski had been drawn together through a shared interest in sketching .[citation needed] Bernard Cywinski died in 2011, at the age of 70.[9]

Awards

In 1994, the practice received the American Institute of Architects Firm Award,[10] which recognizes the design work of an entire firm. In 2010, founding partner Peter Bohlin, FAIA received the AIA Gold Medal, the highest honor given by the American Institute of Architects to an individual.[11] In 2013, BCJ was the recipient of the Architectural Record Good Design is Good Business Lifetime Achievement Architecture Award.[12] The firm has received numerous awards for the designs of libraries, visitor centers, housing, and sustainable design.[13] In 2012 they won the EuroShop RetailDesign award for the Uniqlo flagship store in Shanghai based on the strength of its spectacular dynamic merchandising. The centre of the building contains the main attraction: a striking 20-metre high atrium with "flying mannequins" moving from top to bottom at a pace set by music.[14]
