Bio

James McCrery earned his Master of ¾«¶«´«Ã½ and Bachelor of Science in ¾«¶«´«Ã½ degrees from the Ohio State University. His Undergraduate studies were concentrated in modernist and formalist design and theory. These led to his Graduate studies concentrating in Post-modernist and Deconstructivist design and theory under Peter Eisenman and Jeffry Kipnis. Mr. McCrery later worked in Eisenman’s New York offices.

Rethinking his modernist education, and the philosophical foundations of Post-Modern thought and its implications for architecture led Mr. McCrery to investigate and ultimately commit to Classical ¾«¶«´«Ã½. He joined the Washington offices of the world-renowned master of Classical ¾«¶«´«Ã½ – Allan M. Greenberg and submitted himself to a completely new and profession-based course of studies. Mr. Greenberg remains a close friend and mentor.
