Title: Frederic Schwartz Architecture

URL: http://www.schwartzarch.com/

Description: Frederic Schwartz is an award winning architect and planner with particular expertise in affordable, sustainable housing. He is the recent winner of the Guangzhou International Master Plan competition and was also selected by the citizens of New Orleans and the New Orleans City Planning Commission to re-plan one third of the city for 40% of its post-Katrina population. Schwartz is credited with changing the course of post-9/11 planning in New York City through his work, which facilitated an open site for the 9/11 memorial and a way to repair the city’s skyline. The New York Times repeatedly published his ideas including a profile, “The Man Who Dared the City to THINK Again.” Schwartz’s ideas also provided the framework for The New York Times Magazine “Think Big” Planning Study on the first anniversary of 9/11. He founded THINK—an international group of architects selected to master plan and re-imagine Ground Zero. Subsequently, Schwartz was unanimously selected by the family groups to design both the New Jersey State and Westchester County 9/11 memorials to honor more than 900 loved ones. As winner of an international competition, he is the architect for the new Staten Island Ferry Terminal at the tip of Manhattan, which serves 70,000 commuters every day. Schwartz is a recipient of the prestigious Rome Prize in Architecture and was selected by the Architecture League of New York for both the Young Architect’s Award and as an Emerging Voice in Architecture. A graduate of the University of California at Berkeley and Harvard University, Schwartz has taught at Princeton, Columbia, Harvard, Yale and Penn, and has lectured extensively in America, Europe, China and India.
