About Jonathan Kirschenfeld, AIA
Mr. Kirschenfeld began his studies in 1976 at the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies headed by Peter Eisenman. The following year, he was invited to work in the Milan office of Aldo Rossi and had the opportunity 15 years later to collaborate with Rossi on the Holtzman Residence in Michigan. Soon after graduating from the Masters program at Princeton, Mr. Kirschenfeld was a founding partner at Architrope, an award-winning design firm established with Andrew Bartle in 1987.
Aside from his role as principal, Mr. Kirschenfeld is Adjunct Associate Professor at Columbia University's School of Architecture Planning and Preservation, and has taught at architectural programs at Pratt Institute and New Jersey Institute of Technology. He was a Visiting Professor at the University of Bologna: Facolta Di Architettura Aldo Rossi from 2013-2014 and has been twice selected as first-alternate for the Rome Prize.
Mr. Kirschenfeld is the founder of the Institute for Public Architecture (IPA) a not-for-profit organization at the forefront of social impact design. The IPA and residency Fellows were featured in a 2014 New York Times front page Arts article by Times critic Michael Kimmelman.
