Arguably the foremost airport designer in the world, Fentress’ DIA (Denver International Airport), Incheon International Airport (Seoul, South Korea) and his anticipated modernization of LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) et al., have garnered recognition (see background below) worldwide for design excellence and outstanding “airside-to-curbside” traveler experience. Focused on the public process, Fentress’ works are in the genres of airport, museum and public buildings. A protégé of I.M. Pei, the low key Fentress has developed a reputation as a hybrid architect, developing iconic design reflective of the region’s culture, within the cost and budgetary confines associated with high profile public architecture. He is known among students of architecture for his observations on the process of large scale design. Highest Award for Public Architecture: Curtis Fentress will be honored in 2010 by the American Institute of Architects website with the highest award for public architecture, the Thomas Jefferson Award . World’s 4th Tallest Building Completed in 2009: Fentress is the designer of the world’s 4th tallest building completed in 2009 -- Arraya Tower in Kuwait City, also the tallest in Kuwait. |
