From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lorcan O'Herlihy is an architect who was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1959, and moved to the United States at an early age. While studying architecture in Europe in the late 1970s, Lorcan became deeply immersed in painting, developing a highly international abstract expressionism style. Today, Lorcan has become an award winning, internationally recognized artist and architect based in Los Angeles, California.
As an architect, Lorcan has sought opportunities to engage the operative layers of the urban landscape with respect to spatial, sensory and experiential information.
In 2004 the Architectural League of New York selected Lorcan O'Herlihy as one of the eight "emerging voices" in the United States. Lorcan O'Herlihy Architect's commitment to design excellence in commercial, educational and residential projects has earned 26 national and international awards, including seven American Institute of Architects Design Awards.
Previously, Lorcan worked at I.M. Pei and Partners on the celebrated Grande Louvre Museum in Paris and as an associate at Steven Holl Architects, where he was responsible for several projects including the award winning Hybrid Building in Seaside, Florida, which received a National Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects.
