RMJM (Robert Matthew Johnson Marshall) is one of Britain’s largest international architecture and design firms. Founded in 1956 by architects Robert Matthew and Stirrat Johnson-Marshall, RMJM’s first offices were based in London and Edinburgh. RMJM provides services in sustainable design, masterplanning, urban design, spatial planning, landscape design, arts consultancy, historic preservation, computer visualisation and interior design to a range of clients for a variety of sectors, including mixed-use, education, energy, residential, government and hospitality.〔("RMJM History & Services" ), RMJM Architecture & Masterplanning Ltd., ''RMJM Website'', 25 June 2015〕 In its earlier years, RMJM designed in a functional modern style, with Matthew and Johnson-Marshall as strong proponents of the style in the United Kingdom. Today, RMJM provides architecture, master planning, design, and engineering consultancy services in several sectors. RMJM currently operates out of studios in Istanbul, Dubai, Hong Kong, London, Belgrade, New York, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Pretoria, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Mombasa, Kampala, Gaborone, Juba, Karachi, Rome, Cordoba, Buenos Aires, La Paz, Monterrey, Panama City and Riyadh.〔(''RMJM: Regions & Services'', RMJM: Home, July 02, 2015 )〕 ==History== RMJM was founded by Stirrat Johnson-Marshall and Robert Matthew in 1956. The partnership began following Robert Matthew’s decision to hire Johnson-Marshall to manage the new London office of his architecture practice, which had been set up to oversee the construction of New Zealand House in Haymarket Road, London, described as "London's most distinguished 1960s office block".〔High Commission of New Zealand, London (accessed 25 June 2015)〕〔name="Paul Stallan; Lucy Andrew; Adrian Boot" (2006) "RMJM: Inside Out, Outside In". Black Dog Publishing. ISBN 1904772595〕 In 1961 the firm took Tom Spaven, Kenneth Graham, Vernon Lee, John Richards, Chris Carter and Alan Whiteman into partnership. As a result, the practice changed its name to RMJM & Partners.〔(), Scottish Architects., ''Scottish Architects Website'', 25 June 2015〕 The change in name also marked a shift towards larger international projects; by 1967 the practice employed 350 members of staff between the Edinburgh and London offices.〔(1996) RMJM: The First Forty Years, RMJM Publishing〕 RMJM began to take on more projects as the need for public sector construction grew,〔 expanding to include a Glasgow studio before extending its reach beyond the British borders. In the late 1960s the firm began working on projects in the United States; further projects in the Middle East and central Asia allowed RMJM to establish several more international studios in the following decades. Over the next twenty years RMJM continued to expand, and the firm’s modernist, functional style became a trademark. As RMJM moved further into the emerging markets of the Middle East, East Asia and Africa, it began to establish more offices within the respective countries. Today RMJM Limited now has studios in twenty-five countries.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「RMJM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
