Travis Price — Architect
“My dream design projects vary from a house on the Mediterranean rocky coast, to a modern religious building, to an invisible building replete with endless time using nano technology. No Metaverse yet, but I’m looking to design a world of modern scaled eco towns that are self-reliant, humane, and riddled with metaphors.”
Price, whose own home in Washington’s Rock Creek Park made it onto HGTV’s “World’s Greenest Homes” list, cites past masters such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Charles and Ray Eames and even the ancient Greeks as influences and sources of inspiration. Price has expressed such reverence by spearheading the “Spirit of Place” project, in which architectural students under Price’s guidance have built more than two-dozen modern-design memorials across the world to commemorate ancient civilizations since 1993.
That said, Price, who refers to the current architectural era as “the second wave of modernism,” is quick to stress the value of shedding limitations of the past while pushing the limits of technology and imagination.
“My dream design projects vary from a house on the Mediterranean rocky coast, to a modern religious building, to an invisible building replete with endless time using nano technology,” says Price. “No Metaverse yet, but I’m looking to design a world of modern scaled new eco towns that are self-reliant, humane, and never seen before.”
