Founded in 1906 by Albert C. Martin, the Los Angeles based architectural studio AC Martin Partners, Inc. has made a name of itself thanks to its innovative construction system based on reinforced concrete construction wedded with architectural engineering. AC Martin`s process is not linear in the sense that it begins with a program, moves to design, transfers to engineering, and concludes in a solution. Instead, its integrated process involves "thinking simultaneously" solving architectural and engineering problems at the same time.
