| Introduction | William is a 3rd generation, Summa Cum Laude Architect from the University of Florida and a 2011 AIA Henry Adams Gold Medal Recipient. William has produced designs in both commercial & residential projects throughout Florida, often in collaboration with his family’s practice in architecture. William seeks to design from a perspective that is both culturally and historically minded. Since 2009, William began to collect & catalog his grandfather’s early works in South Florida & the Caribbean; familiarizing himself with his heritage of mid-century architecture and learning about his grandfather’s association with Igor B. Polevitzky- a prominent MiMo architect. Finding merit not only the constructions that he studied, but also their impact on the people who utilize them, William developed a sense of obligation to Miami and the unique architecture that formed it. He resumed work in Miami after graduation, seeking to expound on his grandfather’s legacy & devotion. Since 2008, he frequently travels to Havana, Cuba to study architecture, using a special license granted by the U.S. Treasury Department to examine how buildings there function without the use of air-conditioning. |
