About

Andrew is an architect who focuses on strategy, storytelling, and making-informed design - with a passion for cultural projects.

His design philosophy is anchored in active listening, continuous learning, iterative process, and critical evaluation. Collaborations with clients, manufacturers, researchers, and artists have been critical parts of his design career.

Andrew is a Principal at Gluckman Tang Architects, where he has spent 12+ years focused on the design of cultural projects.

He has managed the design for several museums, crafted concept designs, masterplans, and competition submissions, and developed designs for private art-related projects. Other experience includes work for resorts and high-end residential clients. He has taken projects from concept through construction across the US and abroad. In addition to design leadership, he has experience in firm operations, business development, competitions, and project management.

In 2013 he co-founded Afoam, a design/build collaborative with whom he has completed a range of fabrication, residential, and retail projects.
