Daniel Chavez

Professor of Practice

Master of Architecture, University of New Mexico, USA

Daniel Chavez has worked in the architectural profession for over 11 years and has completed projects in New Mexico, Canada and China. Many of his completed projects are small scale, which allowed him to see them through from conception to completion of construction, usually acting as project manager while simultaneously designing and producing construction documents. His years working in the construction industry and as a furniture-maker have given him a unique perspective as a designer. Chavez has been an instrumental team member at the office of Antoine Predock, with Gensler Architecture on the Virgin Galactic Space Port competition team and with Gould-Evens Architecture on CNM Westside Phase III.
