Meet CED Alums

Alum Ramon Ramirez (BA Architecture 1993, MArch 1997), who taught and practiced architecture for two decades, has turned to painting full-time. His paintings have traveled nationally and represent the architecture of Los Angeles — bridging Chicanx identity, urban form, and the poetic urgency of place.

UC Berkeley alums Lou Tamiye (MArch 2019) and Cooper Rogers (MArch 2019) designed and opened Good Hot, a collection of five outdoor saunas nestled in a semi-industrial corner of Richmond. The site supports a deconstructed bathhouse, an unfolding series of saunas, changing cabins, and more.

KRIS YAO | ARTECH, a firm founded 40 years ago by UC Berkeley alum Kris Yao (MArch 1978), Hon. FAIA, was honored this year with the AIA International Firm Award.

In an interview with the Louisiana Museum of Art, Zhu Pei (MUD 2000) explains why he believes that architecture is art.
