Record Reveals: Denise E. Thompson on Philadelphia
In preparation for the 2016 AIA Convention, Architectural Record asks local architects about their Philadelphia favorites.
Denise E. Thompson, AIA, LEED AP BD+C is a Massachusetts native and 2002 B.Arch. graduate of Temple University. Denise is an associate at Francis Cauffman in Philadelphia where she has worked since 2003 focusing on health care design. She has also been an active volunteer in the AIA since 2005 starting as the state associate director to the AIAPA Board of Directors and continuing on to be the Pennsylvania representative on the AIA National Associates Committee and Young Architects Forum. Denise currently serves as the AIA Philadelphia President for 2016.
I believe there are so many amazing new buildings in the city and surrounding region at the moment, but my personal favorite is Pavilion & Children's Discovery Garden at Sister Cities Park by DIGSAU. The way this building activates a formerly deserted park area into one of the most family friendly environments in the city is to be commended. I also appreciate the sustainable and contemporary design decisions that were made for this 2012 building despite its sensitive location in front of the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter & Paul completed in 1864.
