chairman j. carter brown commented one is hard put to think of any architects in history that have addressed the integument of architecture with greater imagination and virtuosity . this was in reference to hdm s innovative use of exterior materials and treatments such as silkscreened glass . architecture critic and pritzker juror ada louise huxtable summarized hdm s approach concisely they refine the traditions of modernism to elemental simplicity while transforming materials and surfaces through the exploration of new treatments and techniques . 2 in 2006 the new york times magazine called them one of the most admired architecture firms in the world . 3 hdm s early works were reductivist pieces of modernity that registered on the same level as the minimalist art of donald judd .
