Michael Tower, AIA
Michael’s passion for architecture began in Detroit, Michigan where he was inspired by the power and beauty of old factories. He grew up surrounded by makers, artists and engineers acutely aware of the material world and the role of design and production. That love, along with a growing interest in art led him to New York City to study architecture. It was here that Michael began to refine an aesthetic that expresses the power and beauty of design born from a dialogue with the people involved.
Michael earned his bachelor’s degree in architecture from the Cooper Union and his master’s in architecture from Yale University where he graduated with honors.
He is a member of the American Institute of Architects and is a registered architect in New York State.
