Senior Project Architect, Selldorf Architects

Anne Lewison AIA is a Senior Project Architect with Selldorf Architects working on a variety of projects across the US. Previously she has been the senior architect and Project Manager for the World Trade Center Museum Pavilion by Snøhetta, New York. She directed the team on all aspects of this project from 2007 to the public opening in May of 2014. Prior projects include Pei, Cobb Freed and Partners, The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC for which she integrated the permanent exhibitions into the architecture, as well as designing the settings for all the commissioned art for the building.   More recently her work took her to Toronto, representing the Museum of Contemporary Art's Board of Directors during the construction of their fit-out of 50,000sf over five floors of a 100-year-old former factory on the west side of Toronto. She has been a Board Member of cultureNOW.org Museum without Walls, an award -winning cultural mapping app, since 2002 and is currently working on apps for cultural mapping across the U.S. and in Canada.  In addition, she is involved with mentoring architecture students both through the AIA WIA efforts and in Selldorf Architects' internal mentoring as part of the EDI initiative. During the year of isolation that Covid 19 has wrought, mentoring has been even more important as students are working without the support of a studio environment. Every hour we spend with a student is intensely valuable.
