  • Comment: Reads like a CV or Linkedin profile, not a biography of a living person. Content is mainly about his firm's projects - many of the inline citations do not even mention Dan Wood - we need multiple instances of significant coverage (in-depth, focused, analytical content - more than passing mentions, listings, etc) about him in published reliable independent secondary sources.

Dan Wood (born 1967)[1] is a New York-based architect. He co-founded the firm WORKac with Amale Andraos and is a Principal. A Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, he was elevated for his commitment to sustainability and programmatic innovation, and was recognized as being among the most innovative architects working in this area.[2]

WORKac is based in New York City, with projects in the U.S. and abroad. The practice has achieved international recognition for projects such as Public Farm 1 for MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program, the Edible Schoolyards at PS216 in Brooklyn and PS7 in Harlem, NY, the new office headquarters for Wieden+Kennedy, also in New York, a residential conversion of a historic New York cast-iron building titled the Stealth Building, the Miami Museum Garage, and the Rhode Island School of Design Student Center in Providence.[3]

Wood has taught at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation (GSAPP), and as the William B. and Charlotte Shepherd Davenport Visiting Professor at Yale School of Architecture.[4] He held the 2017 Frank Gehry International Visiting Chair in Architectural Design at the University of Toronto and the 2013–14 Louis I. Kahn Chair at the Yale School of Architecture.[5][6] He also held both the Trott and Baumer Visiting Professorships at Ohio State University’s Knowlton School of Architecture and the Friedman Professorship at UC Berkeley.[7][8]

His publications include We Will Get There When We Cross That Bridge (Monacelli Press, 2017),[9] 49 Cities (Inventory Press, 3rd edition, 2015),[10] and Above the Pavement, the Farm! (Princeton Architectural Press, 2010).[11]

Wood is originally from Rhode Island.[12]
