TAC's initial work consisted of residential projects, mainly single-family houses.
The most notable design was Six Moon Hill in Lexington, Massachusetts , a community dwelling in which several of the houses were the residences of the founding partners, excluding Gropius. Another one of TAC's specialties in this period was school buildings, which included many elementary and secondary public schools throughout Massachusetts and New England. TAC also designed many buildings for universities, among which was the Harvard Graduate Center , a small campus of dormitories and a building devoted to student activities. TAC also designed and planned the entire campus for the University of Baghdad starting the late s.
The project was met with both financial and political difficulties over several years which hampered a timely completion. TAC's other work included many corporate, government, and recreational buildings in both the United States and internationally. In its initial decades, TAC's architecture was mainly in the International Style , early examples of which had been created by Gropius and his colleagues at the Bauhaus and elsewhere. Starting in the s, TAC's style largely shifted from modernism to postmodernism , which was generally coming into favor in the architectural field.
As the firm's staff increased and the scope of the projects became more complex, and an office in Rome was opened in the s, which oversaw projects primarily in Europe and the Middle East. This was followed by the opening of an office in San Francisco in Gropius was a part of TAC until his death in at age The group continued on, but the firm fell into financial problems in the s.
This was largely due to TAC being unable to pay expenses which they owed to various financial institutions and other corporations. Among other things, the firm had been losing money in unbuilt designs, especially in Middle East. TAC was bankrupt and closed in April In response, many archives and architectural libraries worked fast to retrieve TAC's drawings and records. The majority of these are now stored in the Rotch Library at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. For the most part TAC functioned as a team rather than on an individual basis, which was considered a unique method of architectural practice, which reflected Gropius' philosophy of working collaboratively with others when he was a Bauhaus instructor in Germany prior to TAC.
