As an architect practicing in NYC for over 30 years, Jim Seger sees the city as an ever-evolving organism, full of opportunity but also in need of caretaking. He focuses on helping cultural, educational and religious organizations further their missions through architecture and design.
Through his work on projects like the Park Avenue Armory, the Spence School, and Powerhouse Arts, Jim has explored ways that renovation and adaptive reuse of buildings can maintain cultural richness while infusing vibrancy through contemporary uses.
Similarly, his new work responds to both context and program, and includes Riverdale Country School’s new Aquatic Center, Equinox’s new flagship club at Hudson Yards, and a new, non-profit media hub.
Jim earned his Bachelor of Architecture from Mississippi State University. He is a member of the American Institute of Architects, a LEED Accredited Professional, and has served as visiting lecturer and critic at the NY Institute of Technology.
