Polshek Partnership Changes Name to Ennead Architects, Debuts Pentagram-Designed Identity

What’s Ennead (“EN-ee-ad”)? A Greek-derived term for the number nine or a group of nine. A distinguished nonet of Egyptian gods. And the architectural firm previously known as Polshek Partnership. Why the name change? To mark “the culmination of a transition in organizational structure and design leadership begun more than thirty years ago,” according to the firm’s nine partners, who are eager to transcend the starchitect model (based on the identity of founder James Polshek, who remains design counsel to the firm).
