CambridgeSeven Associates, Inc. (CambridgeSeven) is an American architecture firm founded in 1962 and based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The original seven partners, Lou Bakanowsky, Ivan Chermayeff, Peter Chermayeff, Alden Christie, Paul Dietrich, Tom Geismar, and Terry Rankine apply diverse skills in architecture, planning, exhibit design, graphics, industrial design, and film making to create a single design studio founded on the conviction that each assignment, at any scale, should be an opportunity to apply fresh thinking in search of creative solutions. The firm was founded upon the idea that the collaborative efforts of a varied group of designers and architects would be far more effective than those of any one individual.

Most of their work is a collaboration among many disciplines ..." The practice won the American Institute of Architects Architecture Firm Award in 1993, and was described by the AIA Committee on Design as "an influential and stimulating example, demonstrating new directions of professional practice."
