Shepley Bulfinch

Exhibition: "A Legacy of Design Innovation: 150+ Beyond"

Shepley Bulfinch tapped Wide Eyed to co-curate and design a custom exhibit celebrating its milestone 150th anniversary of continuous practice. There were two major drivers for this project: a short three month timeline from start to open, and the goal to travel the exhibition after its premiere in Boston. We hopped on the first flight to Boston to visit the firm's archives and get the gears turning.

‘A Legacy of Design Innovation: 150+ Beyond’ was hosted at The Boston Architectural College’s (BAC) McCormick Gallery to celebrate the firm’s forward-thinking buildings and spaces that have inspired living, learning, and healing since1874. The exhibit traced the evolution of Shepley Bulfinch, starting with its formation in Brookline by Henry Hobson Richardson. The opening reception welcomed Shepley staff, alumni, clients, BAC faculty and students, and the greater Boston community to explore their legacy of design innovation.
