Boston –  Arrowstreet, a Boston-based architecture and design firm, announced that Amy Korté, AIA, has been named the firm’s president. She will succeed Jim Batchelor, FAIA, who has served as president since 2004.

Korté will lead the firm’s efforts to incorporate today’s emerging social trends, business disruptors, and new technologies into its innovative design approach.

She helped launch Arrowstreet’s Innovation and Research Studio (AIR), a series of research and development incubators ranging from mixed-reality and responsive environments to mobility and mass customization.

Her approach to the environment, integrating data, considering sites and buildings as interconnected systems, and challenging traditional building typologies have all sparked new conversations around designing for the future in urban areas.
