Kundig spoke at the NCSU College of Design/AIA Triangle Lecture
Series in 2010.. |
TOM KUNDIG, FAIA (1954-) Kundig was born in California and raised in Spokane WA. Although his Swiss-born father is an architect, Kundig initially preferred working with his hands. As a teenager, he learned to weld with Harold Balazs, a sculptor and friend of his father. During summer vacations he would take jobs at sawmills. Kundig’s undergraduate and graduate architecture degrees are from the University of Washington in 1977 and 1981. He worked for C. Cichanski & Associates from 1977-1980; Bruno Inabnit in Switzerland from 1980-1981; TRA from 1981-1983; The Callision Partnership in 1983; a partnership with Jochman from 1983-1984; MHK Architects from 1984-1985. He joined Jim Olson's firm in Seattle WA in 1986 and became a partner at what is now Olson Kundig in 1994. The firm began with architect Jim Olson in 1968. Rick Sundberg joined the firm in 1975. In 1996, Tom Kundig joined Olson Sundberg as an named partner. Scott Allen came as a partner next. Alan Maskin and Kirsten Murray joined as partners in 2008. There have been various firm names. Kundig is one of residential architecture's rock stars, especially for houses. To date, Kundig has been awarded over 20 AIA awards. His work has been in over 275 publications worldwide. Writer Andrew Blum says "Kundig is the firm's indisputable hotshot, creating the most daring designs and attracting the attention to match. He burst on the architectural scene in the mid-1990s, just as Seattle itself was establishing pride of place in the American consciousness with the rise of Starbucks, Microsoft and Amazon.com. In the past five years, as Kundig's architecture has reached maturity, his houses have left an indelible mark on American residential design, becoming some of the most widely-published works of the last decade. When photos appear in a magazine, hundreds of calls pour into [their] offices from people interested in a Kundig house of their own." Kundig has lectured extensively all across the globe, including Harvard, the University of Texas and the University of Oregon, among many others. He visited NCSU in September 2010.
