Firm History
Founded in 1952 in New York by Sam Brody and Lew Davis, Davis, Brody and Associates rose to note by realizing well designed social housing for New York City, such as Waterside Plaza. While the firm has expanded far beyond its original boundaries, the legacy of quality New York City work to the benefit of New Yorkers is still a keystone of the firm's design philosophy. After J. Max Bond, Jr. joined the partnership in 1990,. the firm became Davis Brody Bond in 1996. From 2006 - 2011 Davis Brody Bond was in partnership with Aedas. In 2010 Davis Brody Bond took an ownership interest in the architectural and interiors firm Spacesmith, a certified Women's Business Enterprise, the firms are housed together within the same office in New York.

Famous quotes containing the words firm and/or history:
““Pop” Wyman ruled here with a firm but gentle hand; no drunken man was ever served at the bar; no married man was allowed to play at the tables; across the face of the large clock was written “Please Don’t Swear,” and over the orchestra appeared the gentle admonition, “Don’t Shoot the Pianist—He’s Doing His Damndest.””

“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
