Curry Rinzler, Architect

On the biography page of my website, you can see the evolution of my career, starting in New York City as a young architecture school grad with strong belief, little experience, and amazing opportunity. It didn't take long to leave the city, work through an experimental phase of great value and settle down to learn carpentry, cabinet making, and contracting in Woodstock, New York. Here, I designed and built my first passive solar house in 1976. More than 35 years later, as a practicing architect, passive solar is still at the heart of every design. The benefit is huge, the cost low, and passive solar combines easily with other green technologies. My years as a builder have taught me not only the ins and outs of construction, but a balanced response to beauty, function, environmental requirements, and clients' needs. I hope you can see this as you browse my website, and you'll contact me to discuss your project.
