The Architect And His Space

Portland architect Brad Cloepfil has his hands around several high profile arts projects, including the new Seattle Art Museum. “I think as my work is evolving; there are moments of sensing the actual space as a thing. We have few opportunities in buildings to actually do that. That’s not a critique of any particular building or architecture, but those moments are rare when you say, God, this is really euphoric. It’s emotional.We all have those moments in our lives: That’s the place that feels like that.”
