RMJM-Hillier’s “Merjer” of Graphics and Architecture
Design studio makes cities readable and buildings navigable
Merje is RMJM-Hillier’s environmental graphic design studio. It is an independent entity that works on RMJM-Hillier projects and on external projects. For both their public and private clients, Merje sees their work as being most analogous to marketing. Since the cross-continental merger of architecture firms RMJM and Hillier last year, Hillier’s former graphic and environmental design studio has been the beneficiary of some of their own rebranding efforts. It’s been relaunched as Merje, a six-person independent studio within RMJM-Hillier, based out of their Philadelphia office.

Raising public awareness, understanding the science in the solutions, and empowering people to try new technologies requires leadership and innovation. With the AIA promulgating an immediate goal of at least a 50 percent reduction of carbon emissions from new and largely renovated buildings by 2010 and carbon neutral buildings by 2030, there is a need right now for insight into the many opportunities for integrated, high-performance, environmentally conscious buildings. That is the impetus behind the just-updated AIA.org Sustainability Page.
