Bio:

Robert Hutchison is an architect with over thirty years of professional experience and more than twenty years of teaching. His practice blends practical, constructed architectural work with artistic investigations realized through theoretical research and installations. Hutchison founded his Seattle-based firm Robert Hutchison Architecture in 2013 with the goal of exploring the boundaries of architecture, providing the opportunity to engage pragmatic and conceptual aspects of architecture from more artistic and experimental entry points. Hutchison received an M.Arch. degree from the University of Washington in 1996 and undergraduate degrees in civil and architectural engineering from Drexel University in 1990. He has taught for the University of Washington Department of Architecture since 2001 and was awarded the Rome Prize in 2017. In 2026 he was appointed a professor of practice at Tulane University. His latest book, Memory Landscapes, will be published this fall.
