The CI
Architecture Name
CI or “City Invincible” is from a famous poem by longtime Camden resident, Walt Whitman. The firms that comprise CI share a common culture, vision and goals:
• Dedication to quality design, integrated project delivery, and long‐term client relationships
• Focus on Community Redevelopment and Urban Architecture
• Active participation in the renaissance of Camden, NJ both professionally and through charitable giving. I DREAMED IN A DREAM.
I dreamed in a dream, I saw a city invincible to the attacks of
the whole of the rest of the earth;
I dreamed that was the new City of Friends;
Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust love –
it led the rest;
It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city,
And in all their looks and words.
Walt Whitman, Camden NJ
