Goody Clancy is one of the leading architecture, planning and preservation firms in the United States. The firm has been charting new design frontiers for nearly half a century, beginning with its first commission to build a house of the future that pioneered new structural uses for plastics in housing in 1955. The company works from the belief that the most elegant design responses are technically and socially relevant to their time and place. Its primary areas of practice include housing, educational facilities, scientific research complexes, civic buildings and historic buildings, as well as planning and urban design. Goody Clancy is located in Boston.
