Lynch
is a registered architect in the State of New York and a member
of the American Institute of Architects. He has taught design studios
at New Jersey Institute of Technology and is currently an Adjunct Assistant
Professor at Pratt Institute School of Architecture in Brooklyn, New
York.
Established in 1999, Lynch / Eisinger / Design (LED) is a New York
City based architecture firm whose work includes architectural and interior
design, furniture as well as consulting for industry. According to the
firm’s profile, “Everything we do is premised on the understanding of
the built environment as a physical and cultural landscape with tangible
and social implications. Our approach is to place materials and methods
of construction above formal preconceptions, as we work our way through
each project in response to particulars of place, time, function, and
client goals. For each set of circumstances, we strive to identify and
utilize the appropriate crafts and technologies, through ongoing investigation
and innovation. We are committed to research through our built work, which
provides a three dimensional laboratory which cannot be simulated through
other modes of practice. In this context, material decisions are given
priority over design theory, ensuring that physical experience supersedes
the ideas that form it. It is our conviction that good design should be
assertive but not imposing; should both structure and adapt to our lives.
Good design should possess internal rigor and efficiency, but must also
transcend that rigor to enhance human experience. We achieve good design
by understanding our clients’ needs, understanding construction, and paying
attention to details.”
LED’s clients include Nike, Calvin Klein, Herman Miller, NYU, Lucent
Technology, Converse, and many private individuals and developers.
The firm has completed projects in North and South America, Europe, Asia,
and Africa, where it recently completed its second HIV clinic, both designed
pro-bono, in Mombasa, Kenya. LED’s work has been published in numerous
books and magazines.”
