Lubowicki / Lanier Architects

The architectural firm of Lubowicki/Lanier was founded by Paul Lubowicki and Susan Lanier in 1988 and is considered to be one of the up and coming young firms in Los Angeles. They have designed several residential and commercial projects and fabricated numerous furniture pieces, some of which have been exhibited locally. Together they have given lectures for The Architectural League of New York, UCLA School of Architecture, Forum for Architecture and Urban Design, International Design Center of New York, California College of Architecture at California Polytechnic University in Pomona, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, the University of Southern California School of Architecture, the University of Texas School of Architecture in Arlington and participated in several design panel discussions.

The varied experience of the principals has given the firm its unique qualities. Susan Lanier has a B.A. in Psychology from Pitzer College in Claremont, California, and graduated with a Masters Degree in Architecture
from the Southern California Institute of Architecture in 1988. She worked with Morphosis Architects from 1985 to 1987 as one of a team of four project designers on the Comprehensive Cancer Center in Los Angeles. During that time she also worked directly with Thom Mayne on the design of his house and on several prototypes for metal furniture. She is currently teaching at the University of Southern California School of Architecture and Southern
California Institute of Architecture, and has taught as a visiting faculty member at Harvard University Graduate School of Design and the University of Texas School of Architecture in Arlington. Paul Lubowicki graduated from the Cooper Union School of Architecture in 1977 and worked with Frank Gehry from 1977 through 1984 as project designer on several residential and institutional projects. He also worked with Mr. Gehry on his collaborations with artists Richard Serra, Claes Oldenberg, and Anthony Caro and was
responsible for the fabrication of the original rough edged cardboard furniture prototypes. He is currently teaching at the Southern California Institute of Architecture and has taught as a visiting faculty member at Harvard Graduate School of Design, Yale University Graduate School of
Architecture, UCLA School of Architecture and Urban Planning and the University of Texas School of Architecture in Arlington.

Lubowicki and Lanier's approach to design considers each project as a unique opportunity to bring together the program, site, client, context and user into a coherent set of relationships at both an architectural and human
scale. They feel that the relationship of building to site, building to context, building to person, the integration of landscape with architecture, the integration of art with architecture, and the integration of the person
with the experience of architecture are primary, and are what make the practice of architecture an art. It is through the combination of these relationships that the character and uniqueness that each project embodies
reveals itself in the building.
