Moule & Polyzoides is a thinking office. Both the partners and the staff are actively engaged in architectural and urban design research, covering topics such as historical housing precedents in Southern California, the development of Los Angeles, campus planning, and the architecture/urbanism of the Southwest. This research both informs our professional practice and manifests itself in articles, books, and exhibitions.
