Marc Kushner

MARC KUSHNER, AIA, is co-Founder and CEO of Architizer.com and partner at HWKN (Hollwich Kushner). Architizer is the largest and fastest growing platform for architecture online. The New York Times called it "Facebook for Architects" and it is a revolution in the way architects communicate their work to the world. Since its inception, Architizer has started a fundamental re-evaluation within the profession of how architecture is consumed as media. HWKN (Hollwich Kushner) is a New York based design office whose projects span the worlds of culture, branding, and development. Its work has been published in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine and many others. In 2012 HWKN won MoMA PS1's Young Architects Program and installed WENDY - a new idea in architecture that dares the public to fall in love with architecture. Other projects include J2, the tallest residential development in New Jersey; the Fire Island Pines Pavilion, and the UNIQLO Cubes. Marc teaches at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, lectures on the topic of social media and architecture across the country and sits on the boards of Storefront for Art and Architecture and Goods for Good.
