Author Biography

Robert Thompson, FAIA, is founding partner of the Portland-based firm TVA Architects, internationally recognized for its architecture, interior design, and planning. Thompson is responsible for the design of some of the most prominent buildings in the Pacific Northwest during the late twentieth- and early twenty-first centuries. Known for a signature brand of pristine, often white-toned late-twentieth century modernism, Thompson was influenced by the works of modern masters, including Le Corbusier, Charles Gwathmey, Yoshio Taniguchi, and Richard Meier. In 1993, at the age of thirty-nine, Thompson was the youngest architect in America to be inducted into the American Institute of Architects' College of Fellows for his contribution to the profession. His work has been published in leading journals around the world.
