Steven Ehrlich, FAIA, RIBA, learned early on, the significance of how architecture responds to culture and environment.  Six years in Africa (including two years with the Peace Corps as their first architect in Marrakech, Morocco, and teaching at Ahmadu Bello University in Nigeria) taught Ehrlich the sustainable wisdom of indigenous architecture.
Selected in 2003 as the California AIA Firm of the Year, Ehrlich Architects has won seven National AIA Awards. Current projects include the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and the School of Earth and Space Exploration both for Arizona State University, the Art Building at the University of California, Irvine, five residential towers in Taipei, Taiwan, and a large villa in Dubai.
In 2007, the Palm Springs Art Museum curated a retrospective show, Multicultural Modernism, in conjunction with the release of the firm’s sixth monograph by Images Publishing. Ehrlich has been a guest critic at USC, Harvard, Yale, and UCLA, and lectures extensively in the US and abroad.
