The 25 – David Andreozzi, ARCHITECT, RBA

In 38 years as an architect, David Andreozzi, founder of Andreozzi Architecture, has spent his career educating the public on good design. Further, he has committed himself to supporting the profession of traditional and classical architecture from within.

“Every time I convince a person to judge a design not based on style but according to its inherent connectivity to people, culture, history, and vernacular, it touches my soul,” says the architect, who is currently spearheading a new movement, Architectural Delight, to educate the public on the importance of culturally responsible design.

Andreozzi is an appointed member of U.S. General Services Administration (GSA)’s National Register of Peer Professionals, a group relied upon to help steward the design of future government buildings. He is also on the boards of Lutyens Trust America and the NE ICAA, where he served as president and received a Bulfinch Award in 2014 for his stewardship of the organization.

Before this, Andreozzi was AIA’s National Chair of CRA (Custom Residential Architects Network). In addition to this leadership role, he personally helped develop CRANtv, an internet-based series of viral videos that educate the public on the importance of good design and the architect’s role. This series received national accolades.

A graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, Andreozzi is the son of a second-generation contractor and an interior decorator. He grew up working on building sites learning all aspects of construction from artisans. From hammer to pencil to paintbrush, he is committed to further discovering and nurturing craft and beauty.
