PHILIP L. (PHIL) SZOSTAK, FAIA (1953-) Phil Szostak graduated from the NCSU School of Design in 1975 and taught a graduate studio there since 1976. He also interned with Harry Wolf.
After working for Arthur Cogswell for a few years, he opened Philip Szostak Associates in 1980. In 1990, he became NC Principal for NBBJ, America's second largest architectural practice. After 12 years he left NBBJ to re-open his own firm, Szostak Design.
In February 2003 he was curator for The North Carolina School: The Art of Architecture at Duke's Nasher Museum of Art, an exhibition of the works by graduates and faculty of the NCSU School of Design over the last 50 years. Cited by Metro Magazine as “ a timely and beautifully rendered reminder of North Carolinas enduring tradition of modern architecture and the architects who design it," the exhibit featured architectural models, free-hand sketches, pastels, graphics and watercolors by 21 practicing North Carolina architects.
His most recent major commercial project is the Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC).
Several years ago, he founded the Triangle Architecture Design Society (TADS), an informal group of noted area architects including Frank Harmon and Kenneth Hobgood.
Szostak is developer for the New American House Project (NAHP), 17 new Modernist homesites in Raleigh and Durham.
