Greg Randall
Greg has worked in architecture for a variety of firms, gaining diverse experience in commercial offices, medical facilities, restaurants, retail shops and high-end residences. These design experiences have shown that good design is not the result of a well-developed dogmatic signature style. It is the honest search and research for an appropriate, beautiful solution derived from the interaction between client, craftsmen, and architect.

In 1990, Greg graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Architecture. While studying Architecture, he remained enrolled in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts focusing on Philosophy and History of Arts & Ideas. This additional liberal arts education expanded his historical knowledge of arts, architecture, and culture while honing his critical thinking and visualization faculties.

Before attending the University of Michigan, Greg spent two years working as an engineering intern while attending GMI Engineering and Management Institute. Studying and practicing mechanical engineering provided him with a detailed focus on how things fit and work together.

Early in his career, he adopted the computer for visual study and communication. His constant investigation, teaching, and experimentation with digital tools and methods have yielded effective means of communicating design solutions from the overall big picture to the fabrication of small components in a project. Greg is currently a part-time faculty member in the Sculpture Department at the Art Institute of Chicago where he teaches sculptors these computer methods.

Greg is an active Freemason holding office in the Blue Lodge and affiliated York Rite bodies. He takes great pride in being a member of a charitable fraternity whose membership has included many of this country’s founding fathers, whose Masonic principles shaped the Bill of Rights.

His spare-time is variously spent gardening, woodworking, traveling, eating, photographing, tennis playing, and studying Tai Chi, religious history and mysticism, art, music, and psychology.
