Life of an Architect

FEBRUARY 7, 2016

Architects are lucky. Once you get past the few architects that complain disproportionately loud for the entire profession, you will discover that just about anyone can be an architect and have a role to play in the design and building process. Not everyone will be a designer, and not everyone will be a project manager. Some architects will stand in front of clients and communicate a vision, and other architects will stay in the office and make sure the details are watertight.

Saving an Old Lady. This 30 foot stained glass and lead dome was restored by Dennis Kowal Architects in concert with the entire building restoration. The lead and glass dome was in such poor condition, the Owner had installed a plywood ceiling to catch the falling glass and to protect the public. Dennis Kowal Architects (DKA) saved the dome from an uncertain fate with a full historic restoration plan.

This event represented the culmination of almost two years of partnership with Sub-Zero and Wolf as I was granted access to the judges, and the judging process, of its 2013-2014 Kitchen Design Contest in its 22nd year.
