Leslie Gill (Leslie Gill Architect, New York, NY)
Selected projects

Leslie Gill, NCARB, studies at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York, attending the Schools of Art and the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture.   She is a two-time fellow of the New York Foundation for the Arts, and is a recipient of the 1995 40 Under 40 award and the Citation for Oustanding Contribution in the Field of Architecture from the Cooper Union.

After fourteen years as a founding partner of Bausman-Gill Associates, in 1994 she initiated her own practice, Leslie Gill Architect.  Her New York City based firm combines the tactile and theoretical aspects of architecture--the spaces we experience with the spaces we comprehend.  Towards that end, Gill and her associates use artisan traditions and modern modes of production in the development and execution of their ideas.   The work continually examines the potential of the physical environment, uniting the disparate scales of furniture, building, and landscape.

In addition to her firm, she holds academic appointments at Columbia University and Harvard University.  She is Vice-Chair of the Van Alex Institute Projects in Public Architecture, co-chair of the Chrysler Awards, a program that recognizes innovation in the design arts and a panel member of the New York State Council on the Arts.  Recent awards include a 1998 Record Houses citation from Architectural Record, a 1998 honor award from the AIA, and a Citation for Outstanding Contribution to the Field of Architecture from the Cooper Union.

She has also worked with NJIT SOA adjunct professor Bryce Sanders.

There is a website at the Cooper Union that exhibited some of her work.
