2024 Kleinschmidt Recipient
BRIAN GRIGGS, AIA
Brian H. Griggs, AIA, was inspired by his architectural education at Texas Tech and his subsequent design work on campus for Parkhill to write and illustrate Opus in Brick and Stone: The Architectural and Planning Heritage of Texas Tech University. His book became a 10-year passion project illuminating the historical significance of the architecture of the Texas Tech Campus. Central to his engaging narrative, is Brian’s insightful and meticulous examination of contributions from local architects who trained and taught at Texas Tech, as well as those of regional and national prominence. It is a singular and remarkable work featuring Brian’s drawings of campus buildings and their Spanish precedents. It speaks to the layperson as well as the professional and unquestionably elevates the public’s perception of Texas Tech, the Huckabee College of Architecture, and the architecture profession.
