LOUMED Framework

who we are

Gamble Associates is an architecture, urban design, and planning firm based in Cambridge, Massachusetts that focuses on community redevelopment and neighborhood revitalization.

What we do

Urban Design

We work across scales. By harmoniously blending architectural elements, public spaces, and cultural influences, we create dynamic urban experiences that engage the senses, foster social interaction and leave a lasting impact.

Visioning & Strategic Planning

We understand the complex interplay between social, economic, cultural and environmental factors. We develop comprehensive urban planning strategies to thoughtfully shape urban spaces and be visually striking and enduring.

Adaptive Reuse

Uses change but a building’s form can endure. We leverage the possibilities associated with vacant and underutilized properties and transform them into vibrant places that celebrate their unique character, forging a harmonious blend of past and present.

Neighborhood, Corridor and District Plans

We dedicate ourselves to be diligent students of the places where we work. By blending design excellence, community needs and sustainable practices, we cultivate vibrant urban spaces that foster social interaction, fueling the prosperity of an area.

Campus Plans

A well-designed campus plan is memorable. We balance short-term incremental design and planning strategies with a vision of a long-term future that aligns with our client’s needs and promotes resiliency, community and connection.

Design Guidelines

Guidelines can thwart development if they are overly detailed, but criteria too loosely defined or hard to read results in a lack of capacity to effectuate change. We craft guidelines (and standards) right-sized to the need and provide design review for compliance.

Community Engagement

Methods of participatory planning need to be designed just as spaces and buildings can be. We meet people where they are and utilize a broad range of engagement techniques to ensure projects and initiatives uplift the communities we serve.
