How many people can say they work for a company that truly celebrates its history?  How many people even know their company history or care?  Well, HOK (Hellmuth Obata + Kassabaum), the world’s largest architectural design firm, wants everyone to know where they came from, how they got here, and the people and projects that contributed along the way.  In fact, they just launched a “living archive”  http://www.hok.com/history/ that celebrates their 55-year legacy and allows employees to contribute as it evolves – keeping the experiences alive for current and future team members.

Switch worked with the HOK team to record “living history” storytelling segments that comprise the “spoken word” portion of their History + Lore website.  Together with video segments that illuminate the lives of the founders -George Hellmuth, Gyo Obata and George Kassabaum – the narrative story of the company journey is provided to visitors who explore the site.

Switch is excited to play a bit role in this evolving story and looks forward to its evolution.
