Merge Architects

Acentech partnered with Merge Architects on the newly designed EMS training facility in Boston, MA, featuring state-of-the-art technology and vibrant education, training, and recruiting spaces. Our acoustics experts collaborated with the design team to develop architectural acoustics and noise control strategies for various spaces, while the technology team designed audiovisual, security, and telecommunication systems for the new facility.

Our newest artwork from SOSO merges material and technology with AI to celebrate the interface between Google Cambridge and the surrounding Kendall Square neighborhood. Trained on a collection of public domain poetry by New England poets and Google technical papers, Bricolage uses machine learning and natural language processing to weave the language of poetry and technology into an evolving physical choreography of text. The project, led by Google Project Executive, Marcella Barrière, LEED AP, was a close collaboration between Merge Architects, who designed the brick wall, and Utile, who designed the lobby interior. Each time I pass through Kendall Square, I am drawn to the quiet, kinetic presence of the artwork on the block, and the surprising poetic connections it makes between technology and humanity. Congratulations to the project team, including Google Project Executive, Marcella Barrière, LEED AP; Merge Architects’, Elizabeth Whittaker, Christopher Johnson, and Diana Tomova; Utile’s, Mimi Love, and Chantel Kocher, AIA, LEED GA; and SOSO's, Eric Gunther, John Rothenberg, Anna Garbier, Policarpo Baquera, Wes Thomas, Wade Aaron, and Jiho Sejung Song.

We are thrilled that our Cambridge Massachusetts Avenue Mixed-Use/Housing project has been approved unanimously at the Cambridge Planning Board hearing in July!

This new multi-leveled development at 2400 Massachusetts Ave will include 56 condos and a ground pedestrian retail corridor, providing a new shopping destination for North Cambridge.
