(USA)	New York architect Henry Smith-Miller, a former associate of Michael Graves and Richard Meier, and Californian artist Laurie Hawkinson, who studied at Berkeley and then Cooper Union, where she trained in architecture, joined forces in 1983. They are deeply involved in contemporary architectural issues, and strive to weave together theory and action, design and execution, praxis and instruction. The architecture of Smith-Miller & Hawkinson draws at once from a sophisticated and proven art of construction (at work, in particular, in the Glass Museum, Corning, N.Y., 1994), and from an openness and availability to contemporary culture in all its forms. The decidedly cross disciplinary praxis of Smith-Miller & Hawkinson also often looks for fertile associations in other areas of thought and other disciplines: with the artist Barbara Kruger and the landscape artist Nicholas Quennell (Imperfect Utopia: a Park for the New World, 1987-96, Elliot Bay Waterfront, Seattle, 1989, with the artist and writer Silvia Kolbowski, and with the architect and historian Kenneth Frampton (MAXmin House, 1993).
