Craig W. Hartman, FAIA, is a design partner based in SOM’s San Francisco Office. His work with SOM in the United States, Europe, and Asia, while extremely broad in its typology—ranging from entire urban districts to singular works of commercial, civic, and cultural architecture—consistently adheres to a rigorous modern vocabulary that acknowledges issues of place involving climate, physical and cultural landscape, and historic precedent.
Mr. Hartman joined SOM in 1973 and served as design partner in the firm’s Houston and Washington, D.C. offices before coming to San Francisco, where he has established the West Coast architecture group as one of the region’s premier design practices. Just as SOM is a multifaceted practice encompassing architecture, planning, engineering, interiors, and graphic design, Mr. Hartman’s work demonstrates how, through interdisciplinary collaboration, projects can achieve innovation in design and building performance.
Mr. Hartman has received numerous awards and honors for his work throughout his career, including four National AIA Honor Awards, and a Federal Design Achievement Award in the 2000 Presidential Design Awards Program. In 2001 he became the youngest recipient of the Maybeck Award from the California Council of the American Institute of Architects. This award recognizes a “lifetime achievement in architectural design” by an individual.
