Metropolismag.com reports, when it was announced in the beginning of
this year that Ed Feiner, the chief architect of the General Service
Administration (GSA) and founder of its Design Excellence and the Arts
Program, would be retiring as of January 31, the design community knew
that it would be losing one of its leaders. No more than two weeks after
the announcement word came that Feiner would be joining the Washington,
D.C. office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) as director of
office operations.

At the GSA, Feiner oversaw the completion of several billion dollars
worth of federally funded projects by outstanding architects such as
Thom Mayne and Richard Meier; in the process, he ensured that design
became an indelible part of government buildings. (To see the full

To learn more about Edward Feiner and his work as the Chief Architect of
GSA and Director of SOM, plan to attend the April 7th luncheon.
