Before launching ABO, McQuade was Associate Principal at Adjaye Associates and co-led the New York office. During his fourteen years there, he oversaw the design and construction of many significant projects in North America, including buildings, interiors, competitions, exhibitions, and furniture pieces. He has taught architectural design at Princeton University and the University of Toronto and regularly participates on architectural juries and panels. He is editor of Authoring: Re-placing Art and Architecture, one of the founding editors of Pidgin magazine, and coedit of the book Landform Building: Architecture's New Terrain with Stan Allen.
