American, b. 1965
Gregg Pasquarelli received a Bachelor of Science from the School of Business at Villanova University (1987), and a Master of Architecture from Columbia University (1994) where he graduated with Honors for Excellence in Design.
With Christopher Sharples, Coren Sharples, William Sharples, and Kimberly Holden, he co-founded the architectural firm SHoP Architects in 1997 and has lectured, exhibited, and been published internationally. Pasquarelli was named the Saarinen Professor of Architecture at Yale University in Fall 2006 and served as the Shure Professor of Architecture at The University of Virginia during the Fall of 2003. He was an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Architecture at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation from 1996 through 2003. Pasquarelli serves on the Board of Directors for The Architectural League of New York and is a Young Leader’s Fellow of the National Committee on United States-China Relations. He is a registered architect in the State of New York.
As both practitioners and educators, SHoP’s commitment to challenging the process of building seeks to prove that beauty and technological proficiency are not mutually exclusive. They look at an entire project and consider the site, the cultural and economic environment, a client’s physical needs and budget constraints, as well as construction techniques, branding, marketing, and post-occupancy issues. Great architecture demands that design, finance, and technology work together – SHoP is combining these forces in innovative ways to create a new model for the profession.
