Hillier: Selected Works presents the design work of the husband-and-wife team of J. Robert and Barbara A. Hillier during the last 25 years coupled with a brief graphic retrospective of the Hillier practice of architecture over 57 years of operation. Despite taking unconventional paths to architecture, both Hilliers enjoyed exhilarating careers growing the firm to 500 people and executing nearly 4,000 projects in 27 U.S. States and 34 Foreign Countries. The quality of the firm's work has been honoured by over 350 design awards.
The selected projects in this monograph are driven by strictly disciplined programming and then conceived by bringing into balance all the forces at work on a project: culture, climate, site, economics, market, and even politics. The resultant architecture is distinctive of its time, its place, and its client, rather than of a particular language or style.
In 2008, Hillier Architecture, then one of the largest firms in the USA, merged with a foreign firm to create the 3rd largest architectural firm worldwide. Studio Hillier, the firm's current iteration, was formed in 2012. More recently, NJIT's College of Architecture and Design was renamed the J. Robert and Barbara A. Hillier College of Architecture and Design, celebrating the Hilliers' commitment to providing more equitable access to design education.
About the Author: Studio Hillier LLC is an interdisciplinary design firm in Princeton, NJ, co-founded in 2011 by partners Barbara A. Hillier, AIA, and J. Robert Hillier, LHD, FAIA, PP. Together for more than 30 years, they form the backbone of a vibrant, growing full-service architectural studio that has the depth of experience and design talent to take on a challenge of any scope. They work collaboratively with experts in the region and elsewhere who bring excellence and robust knowledge of the latest building technologies including prefabrication and environmental systems and the preservation of historic structures. Their success is reflected in the number of repeat clients who recognise their rigorous standards of performance in meeting occupancy dates, managing the budget and delivering high-quality design and professional services. With over 350 design awards, their reputation for excellence is evidence of their commitment to their clients, to place, to sustainability and to the built environment. J. Robert Hillier (Bob) is one of the leading and most highly respected architects in the United States. He is perhaps best known for having built one of the largest and most successful architecture firms in the world. Mr. Hillier is distinguished for his design, for his business acumen and for his contributions to the field of architecture as a practitioner and educator. He is the recipient of an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from New Jersey Institute of Technology and an Honorary MBA from Bryant University. Other honours include the Legacy Award from the Urban Land Institute, the AIA's Michael Graves Lifetime Achievement Award and The President's Medal from NJIT. He is also a Trustee Emeritus at McCarter Theater. Barbara A. Hillier is an accomplished architect and designer and a Principal and co-founder of Studio Hillier. She is the recipient of many honours and awards, most recently for the Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas and for the BD Campus Center, which received the distinguished Chicago Athenaeum American Architecture Award. Her career in architecture was cultivated in the firm of Hillier Architecture, where she was both life partner and career partner with founder, J. Robert Hillier, LHD, FAIA. Ms. Hillier opened and led the firm's Philadelphia office for 11 years which helped build the firm's national reputation.
