Peter L. Gluck

For over 50 years, Peter Gluck has shaped our firm’s ethos to elevate the quality of the built environment. Peter has progressively expanded the practice to establish a construction management firm in 1992 to build the firm’s designs, followed by a development partnership in 1997 to produce well-designed, high quality speculative housing. In 2014, Fast Company’s “World’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Architecture” list included GLUCK+ “for taking control of the entire building process.”

Notable projects include the sensitive restoration and pavilion addition to Mies van der Rohe’s Morris Greenwald House in Connecticut; Bridge – 205 Race, one of the first LEED Gold high-rise developments in Philadelphia; and the award-winning Cary Leeds Center for Tennis & Learning, a public/private initiative in Crotona Park, Bronx, which the New York Times hailed in April 2017 as “one of the city’s best new works of public architecture.”

Peter received his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Architecture from Yale University in 1965. He and others in his class were the catalyst for what would become the Yale Building Project. He has taught at Columbia and Yale schools of architecture, and curated exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Milan Triennale. An early firm monograph, The Modern Impulse: Peter L. Gluck and Partners, was published in 2008. Peter lectures widely on the need for architects to change the profession and has served on the NCARB Futures Task Force, advising on the future of the role of the architect. He also serves on the Auburn University Rural Studio Advisory Group, and the HCAD Advisory Board for New Jersey Institute of Technology.
