Brad Cloepfil (born 1956) is an American architect, educator and principal of Allied Works Architecture of Portland, Oregon and New York City. His first major project was an adaptive reuse of a Portland warehouse for the advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy. Since 2000, Cloepfil and Allied Works have completed cultural, commercial and residential projects including the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, the Dutchess County Residence Guest House and the Museum of Arts and Design. Current works include the Clyfford Still Museum in Denver, Colorado, scheduled to open in November 2011, and the National Music Centre of Canada in Calgary, Alberta, scheduled to open in 2013. ==Early career and influences== Brad Cloepfil was born and raised in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon and attended the University of Oregon. At the University of Oregon, he studied under professor Thomas Hacker, who had worked with Louis Kahn in Philadelphia. After receiving his Bachelor of Architecture in 1980, he went to Switzerland to work in the office of Mario Botta. During his time there, he observed the divergence in architectural styles between the United States and other locations where modernism was evolving such as Europe and Japan. Cloepfil later termed American postmodernism as a "diversional aberration", driven by commercialism rather than architecture. He then studied at Columbia University and earned his Masters of Architecture degree in 1985.〔(Brad Cloepfil bio )〕 While in New York, Cloepfil took inspiration from the large-scale, minimalist sculptures of Richard Serra, and the work of land and installation artists of the 1960s and 1970s. After nine years of teaching and practice in New York, California and Oregon, he founded Allied Works Architecture in 1994. In addition to the influence of environmental art movements and architectural philosophy from architects like Botta and Kahn, Cloepfil credits the landscape and monumental works of engineering in the Pacific Northwest as a primary influence.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brad Cloepfil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
