Mark Harris, AIA
Principal
Mark Harris is a founding principal of studioTEN architects. Previously, he apprenticed under Antoine Predock, FAIA, where his early theoretical and practical frameworks of cultural excavations and environmental stewardship were formulated and expanded.
His current emerging work, which centers on latent social and environmental narratives within architecture, has recently received numerous national and international awards. Mr. Harris’ work has been noted as ‘visionary, bold, and evocative”, creating a “cohesive and probing architecture that is both powerful and highly symbolic”. His early formulations of “Hybrid Architectures”, manifested in his recent Billboard House project and his Remote UN Security Council Chambers project, garnered him the prestigious 2003 American Architecture Award.
Considered an “emerging voice in architecture”, he has been a visiting lecturer, conference speaker, and studio critic at major national and international universities , and donates his time and talents to several overseas children’s charities in Russia and Romania.
