Kevin Daly Architects (KDA) is Kevin Daly's architecture firm in Los Angeles, California. It was founded in 1990 as Daly Genik.[1] Daly has taught architecture and is a fellow at the American Institute of Architects (FAIA).

Kevin Daly[edit]

Daly received his Bachelor of Architecture degree from the UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design and his Master of Architecture degree from the Rice University School of Architecture.[2] Daly began his career a designer at Hodgetts + Fung and then an associate at Frank O. Gehry and Partners (1986-1989).[3][4]

Daly was selected as one of eight "Emerging Voices" by the Architectural League of New York (1999) and held distinguished visiting chairs at both the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning (2001) and Berkeley CED (2007-8).[2] Daly currently teaches at UCLA and has taught at USC, SCI-Arc, Arizona State, and other architecture schools.[2] He has lectured at Stanford, Cornell, Rice University and RISD.[2]

Daly was selected a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects in 2012 and serves on AIA awards juries.[5]

Exhibitions and recognitions[edit]

KDA's work has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), shown most recently in "A New Sculpturalism: Contemporary Architecture from Southern California" (2013).[6][7] The SFMOMA acquired original drawings and models of one of the firm's earliest projects, The Topanga Canyon House, for their permanent collection. KDA was on the cover of Metropolis in 1999 and was featured in All American: Innovation in American Architecture in 2001.[2] In 2005 the firm was selected as one of five American architectural practices to be included in Phaidon's 10x10_2, a book featuring 100 of the world's most exceptional architects to have emerged internationally over the past five years.[8] Their work has been noted in the New York Times, Dwell, Architectural Record, the Los Angeles Times, The Architectural Review, A+U, Domus, Azure, and others.[9]

Work[edit]

Camino Nuevo High School
Camino Nuevo Middle School
Camino Nuevo ECC

KDA has designed educational, residential and institutional buildings.[2] The firm designed the Camino Nuevo Charter Academy Schools project— a series of five projects designed over the course of a decade.[5] Architecture critic, Nicolai Ouroussoff, called KDA's the school's design as “one of the most inspiring projects built in Los Angeles in years” and as "a thoughtful, low-cost work of architecture that embodies the kind of civic purpose and progressive ideals that so many public institutions give lip service to but rarely fulfill".[5][10]

The AIA described Daly's architecture as a combination of “innovation in technology and fabrication, economy and livability, materiality and form” as executed in the characteristics of an affordable housing apartment complex at 2602 Broadway in Santa Monica (2013).[5] The project uses high-performance, sustainable materials and design elements that offer private, interior spaces for residents along with a "community zone" that maximizes every corner of the 1.5 acre site.[11] Transforming infill properties, like 2602 Broadway, into buildings that become community landmarks, is characteristic of the firm's public work.[11]

According to Daly, architecture can be "performative on every level: environmentally, structurally, economically, and aesthetically."[12]

The Valley Center House and the Palms Residence are examples of the firm's residential work[2][5][13][14] Daly's practice includes pro bono work; most recently he designed UCLA Medical Center Santa Monica's new Stuart House, a program of the Rape Treatment Center, and was on the advisory board of USC's Center for Sustainable Cities. In 2009, Ouroussoff said that Daly belongs to the younger generation of architects contributing to the country's westward shift from New York to Los Angeles as the center for innovation and creativity in architectural thought (along with established architects Frank Gehry, Thom Mayne, Eric Owen Moss, Robert Mangurian and Craig Hodgetts).[15] KDA projects in process include expansion of the UCLA Ostin Music Center and the new Edison Language Academy for the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District.[2]
