Daniel Johnson

Daniel’s dedication to architecture is two-fold: building deeply human structures that tap into our existential selves and reforming the systems by which we educate the next generation of designers. He believes in actionable design where the pragmatic and the qualitative combine in a meaningful way that relates back to the people who will inhabit the space. His approach is deeply rooted in anthropology and phenomenology, with the writings of Juhani Pallasmaa as one of his biggest influences. Daniel received his Master in Architecture from the University of South Florida where he graduated at top of his class, winning the AIA Henry Adams Gold Medal and the school's highest design honor, the Eduardo Garcia Award. Following his passion for education he later attended Washington University in St. Louis where he received a second Master’s, in Architectural Pedagogy.
