Boston-based Goody Clancy's work, from the firm's founding to its present-day incarnation, has been characterized by an unwavering dedication to social responsibility and design excellence. Its designs for innovative new buildings that enhance their context have been supported by the firm's important planning and preservation activities which include some of the nation's most cherished and historically significant buildings, such as Boston's 18th-century Old State House and Faneuil Hall, and H. H. Richardson's Trinity Church. Their notable expertise in urban design and planning has led to designs that have transformed public housing developments like Columbia Point in Boston and Cabrini-Green in Chicago into rejuvenated mixed-income neighborhoods. This volume is a presentation and examination of the firm's diverse and remarkable body of work using vibrant photography, plans and illuminating essays by the distinguished architecture writer Deborah K. Dietsch.
