Last week, KieranTimberlake hosted an evening of art and conversation in celebration of the new publication Building Ghosts: Past Lives and Lost Places in a Changing City. This event concludes our year of public programming in celebration of our 40th anniversary.
Building Transparency, a nonprofit organization that provides open access data and tools to foster a better building future, announced it is developing Tally® 2.0, the next iteration of its tallyLCA tool, in collaboration with KieranTimberlake. The new version of the tool will continue to support the building industry by providing insight into the environmental impact of materials and different building designs.
“We are honored to partner with Building Transparency on the development of Tally 2.0," said Ryan Welch, Principal and Research Director at KieranTimberlake.
"By transitioning Tally to a free and open-access tool, we aim to move the AEC industry towards design strategies that minimize environmental impact."
KieranTimberlake staff recently traveled to the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) campus to celebrate the opening of the state-of-the-art New Science Building. It is one of the most energy efficient biological and chemical laboratory facilities in North America.
The four-story, 177,000 GSF research center was designed to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and innovation while meeting ambitious sustainability goals. Various life science research and entrepreneurship initiatives are now centralized, including advanced diagnostics, cancer phototherapy, neuroscience, chronic pain treatment and drug discovery, among others.
As our 40th anniversary comes to a close, we're wrapping up the year with a final round of celebratory events, conferences, and other engagements captured quarterly in the Happenings Poster designed by our in-house team.
This fall, KT staff will be traveling the world—from Salt Lake City to Singapore—for conference presentations and awards juries. Featured project presentations include the recently completed John A. Paulson Center at New York University and the forthcoming Penn's Landing Pavilion, which broke ground last year.
We'll also be hosting two public events at our office in Northern Liberties, Philadelphia, including the Bottling House's latest exhibition.

This summer, KieranTimberlake welcomed eight students from across the country to work alongside our staff on various architectural and research projects.
The internship provides a meaningful opportunity for students to participate in a range of professional design activities and gain broad exposure to ideas that push the practice of architecture forward.
The 2024 cohort brings together undergraduate and graduate students from as far as Texas and Louisiana to Philadelphia. Their academic and professional interests range from carpentry and book collecting to AI modeling and designing sustainable clothing.
Throughout the summer, interns work directly on project teams, gaining hands-on experience while also inspiring our staff with fresh perspectives and insights. The program includes topical presentations and roundtable discussions, mentorship activities, site visits, and intern-driven group projects.
The internship program is led by Associate Brandon Cuffy and Architectural Staff María José Fuentes.
2024 marks 40 years of KieranTimberlake and we're continuing to celebrate with more events, conferences, and other happenings. To better capture all that we're up to, we'll be sharing quarterly posters designed by our in-house team.
In July, August, and September, KT will be presenting the recently completed Folger Shakespeare Library, a case study on collaboration with the Eric J. Barron Innovation Hub, the multi-facade design for 2300 Market, and insights from our Research Group.
See below for more details. We look forward to connecting soon at events both near and far.
