Design Principal, HDR
A 30-year veteran of the profession, Stephen is well-known for engaging a collaborative process that considers the technical, environmental, economic, and social impacts for mixed-use projects, integrating the site, surrounding resources and local culture. He works to connect and support HDR’s design excellence initiative on project work throughout Dallas and the surrounding communities. His priority, he says, is to “balance supporting a studio culture committed to design excellence with researching building craft and exploring concepts for architecture and urban design.”
Stephen’s an advocate for exploring the influence of knowledge through making, especially how the maker culture has latched on to technologies and material exploration that will impact how buildings perform, look and get experienced. He’s especially interested in how computation has empowered fabricators, manufacturers and contractors to achieve a higher level of complexity that can empower the creative teams through modular and pre-fabricated approaches.
