2005 : A Banner Year For SK&I SK&I Architectural Design Group, a residential and mixed-use architectural design firm, announced 2005 as a record year for industry awards, project completions and new project announcements. According to President, Sami Kirkdil, AIA "These results, especially the award recognition, reflect the high standards we set, and our commitment to understanding our clients' design needs.

In the past few years, the academic and professional debate has focused primarily on form-making, the most obvious result of which has been those blobs, or funny shapes, that have proliferated in many architectural and urban design studios. But according to architectural theorist Antoine Picon: "What many designers have had in common is the belief that architectural form must express the intrinsic complexity of the invisible electronic networks and fields that surround it. Carlo Ratti and his colleagues and partners have taken a different course. Their mapping comes prior to any architectural endeavor. It reveals a level of complexity with which design should not even try to compete."
