Principals
Kendall Dorman
Kendall comes from Lincoln, Nebraska, and he has a MArch degree from the Arizona State University. He has worked as an architect in Los Angeles, Chicago, Phoenix, and in Washington, DC. He came to this firm in 1992, and became a partner in 1994. He is a founding member of
Kill Architects, a group that investigates social issues through architecture and art.
John Wiebenson (1935-2003)
John's four decade career took him from coast to coast through cities like San Francisco, Denver, Boston and Washington, DC. He wrote articles about architecture, and his ‘Buildings That Teach’ was featured in the 2/98 Educational Leadership. Most of his articles were traditional in form, but some ten years’ worth appeared as a didactic comic, ‘Archihorse.’ He also taught architecture, first at the University of Maryland and Yale, and most recently at the Chinese University
of Hong Kong.
Associate
Samson Cheng, LEED AP
After 3 years at the main campus, a semester in Switzerland, and a year and a half at the Washington Alexandria Campus, Samson graduated from Virginia Tech with a Bachelor of Architecture degree and a thesis on a Slow Food Retreat Center. Having worked with multiple firms in the DC area during school including Wiebenson and Dorman (Summer of 2004 and 2005), he has come full circle and is glad to be back in a small, local, and ‘truly green’ firm.
