ecological form         

By integrating nature and minimalism into their work, hMa accomplishes the most with the least means: extensive natural light, buildings set in topography, renewable energy sources and local materials.  hMa's practice began when partners Victoria Meyers and Thomas Hanrahan came to international attention after designing the winning entry in the design competition for Chattanooga Nature Interpretive Center.  hMa's winning entry was arguably the first ecologically designed museum in the world, and set the tone for their practice and their ongoing dialogue between nature, art, and minimalism.
