MArch, AIA, LEED AP | Dean
Victor Sidy has been Dean of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture since 2005. Prior to this appointment, Sidy worked as principal architect in his own firm, which focuses on the act of making as the departure point for design.
As an architect, Sidy developed methods to design and execute highly specialized projects, from furniture to bridges, disaster relief shelters to luxury retreats, nature study centers to the design of urban schools. In collaboration with the North American Montessori Teachers' Association, Sidy coordinated programs for adolescents in which the students design and build environmentally sensitive structures. Sidy has also published key literature on the design for Montessori learning environments, and has provided design consultation services for schools across the country.
Sidy’s prototype Human Habitat structure, an experimental shelter for developing countries and disaster areas received patent status and has been tested in two locations.
Sidy’s work has appeared and been featured in the New York Times, Interiors Magazine, Blueprint Magazine, Better Homes and Gardens, CNN International, the Home and Garden Network, the Discovery Channel, and numerous other publications and broadcasts.
Sidy received his architectural training from the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture after receiving the Flinn Foundation Scholarship and Robert C. Byrd Scholarship. He has worked with artists, architects, and planners in Russia, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States and has taught students from elementary school to graduate school in a variety of architecture-related fields. Mr. Sidy hosted a television series on architecture for EMG Satellite Television that aired from 1996 to 1998 and was the youngest member of Architecture Magazine's May 1999 feature "Young Americans."
