​Theodore Carpinelli AIA

Director

Theodore Carpinelli brings invaluable technical knowledge and problem-solving skills, honed over more than 25 years of practice, to many of KPF’s most notable projects, spanning residential, commercial, and institutional developments.

Project Execution

Ted’s critical understanding of the systems and structures that make up a building were utilized for 27 Wooster Street, a luxury residential building on a tight, corner site in New York City’s historic SoHo neighborhood. As Project Manager, seeing the project through completion, his responsibilities included managing shop drawing reviews, coordinating between interior designers and engineers, and handling the overall day-to-day processes. Ted was also Project Manager for the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan, overseeing the third phase of design and installation, which included the implementation of a complicated cladding system of glass fins on existing structures.

Technical Achievement

Ted is frequently brought on to solve complex technical issues in ongoing projects. For 64 University Place, a carefully crafted residential building in Greenwich Village, he helped detail the exterior wall of tiered, hand-laid bricks. For the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), a campus designed to accommodate more than 10,000 students and faculty and a full range of university facilities, Ted aided with detailing and interior planning of multiple spaces. For the Vagelos Innovation Laboratories at Columbia University, Ted was instrumental in reconciling the building’s robust programmatic requirements with its architectural form, while for the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, he has played a key role in the design coordination.

Industry Leadership

Ted is an active member of the BIM leaders at KPF. He is also on the office’s QA/QC review team and routinely makes time to mentor members of KPF’s junior staff.
