Our National Design Awards reactions round-up rolls on with the winners in the architecture design category: New York-based Architecture Research Office (ARO). Led by Stephen Cassell, Adam Yarinsky, and Kim Yao (the pensive trio pictured at right in a photo by Lajos Geenen), the 18-year-old firm has worked with cultural institutions, government agencies, and the likes of Prada and Princeton (so far this year, ARO has racked up commissions from three more leading architectural schools: the Harvard GSD, Cornell, and the University of Michigan).
