NCModernist

Phil Szostak graduated from the NCSU College of Design. After working for Arthur Cogswell for a few years, he opened Philip Szostak Associates in 1980. In 1990, he became NC Principal for NBBJ, America's second largest architectural practice at the time. After 12 years he left NBBJ to re-open his own firm, Szostak Design. In 2003 he was curator for The North Carolina School: The Art of Architecture at Duke's Nasher Museum of Art, an exhibition of the works by graduates and faculty of the NCSU School of Design over 50 years. Szostak is known for many Triangle buildings including the WRAL-TV addition and the world-class Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC). See all his houses here.
