Smith and Others Architects is an alternative practice founded in 1973. Principals Ted Smith and Kathleen McCormick have completed a wide range of unusual housing projects, acting as developers, architects, and contractors in addition to their more traditional practice. In 2005, Smith initiated a new graduate program to teach development strategies to architects at Woodbury University. In 2008, the firm's work was exhibited at the Venice Biennale as part of the US Pavilion.
