Louis Sirianni FAIA, LEED AP l Principal
Louis was a member of the firm when it decided in 1978 to focus exclusively on museum architecture and planning. He became a Principal in 1984. During this time, he has worked as an architect exclusively on museums and has gained extensive experience and considerable expertise in museum architectural design, construction, and planning. Prior to joining the firm, he was the principal designer of urban design projects of large–scale mixed use development. As a result of this experience and his Masters Degree in Urban Design from Harvard, he is better able to incorporate site organization and circulation, establish criteria for, and analyze optional building sites for new museums.
