Travis Price is an architect, author, professor and philosopher with four decades of groundbreaking design to his name. He designs and builds a compelling odyssey of architecture in distant landscapes built by extraordinary cultures highlighting mankind’s greatest sacred buildings. Ecology, mythology and technology are his design lenses. Historical and modern sacred architecture are his primary passions and his architecture restores the spirit of place to modern design. His award-winning projects include residential, commercial and institutional designs. Recently he was a winner in an international competition to design the Peace Corps Commemorative in Washington, D.C. In 2019, he was nominated for the coveted American Institute of Architects Gold Medal for his historic contributions to “ecological and cultural literacy in modern architecture”. He coined the term passive solar in 1974 in his master’s thesis, which focused on green architectural works in New Mexico. He built a passive solar village and then a million-square-foot solar building in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1979. He spearheaded affordable housing in New York City, and built the first solar and wind machine project in Manhattan in 1976. His lectures, books and built works demonstrate the reality of his quest to achieve an evolutionary architectural language for a twenty-first-century design renaissance.
