'''Cambridge Seven Associates, Inc. (C7A)''' is an American [[architecture]] firm founded in 1962 and based in [[Cambridge, Massachusetts]]. The original seven partners, Lou Bakanowsky, Ivan Chermayeff, [[Peter Chermayeff]], Alden Christie, Paul Dietrich, Tom Geismar, and Terry Rankine applied their diverse skills in architecture, planning, exhibit design, graphics, industrial design, and filmmaking to create a single design studio founded on the conviction that each assignment, at any scale, would be an opportunity to apply fresh thinking in search of creative solutions. The firm was founded upon the idea that the collaborative efforts of a varied group of designers and architects would be far more effective than those of any one individual. In writing about the firm, the architecture critic Robert Campbell stated, "From the start, the Seven set out to combine architecture with the other design arts - with exhibits, with graphics, and signage, with public art, with product design, with film, even with city planning. Most of their work is a collaboration among many disciplines..."<ref name="beaver"/> The practice won the [[American Institute of Architects]] [[Architecture Firm Award]] in 1993, and was described by the [[American Institute of Architects|AIA]] Committee on Design as "an influential and stimulating example, demonstrating new directions of professional practice."<ref name="jack"/>
