Barry Svigals
Trained as both an artist and an architect, Barry wove together these two worlds in founding an architecture+art firm which he led for over 30 years. Most of his major architectural projects included both small and large scale sculpture, as well as artwork integrated with the architecture. Since being a Visiting Artist at the American Academy in Rome in 2009-2010, he has had a number of exhibitions of his work in Italy.
A graduate of Yale College and the Yale School of Architecture, Barry also studied sculpture at the École Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris. His list of projects included among them major universities such as Yale University, Boston College and the University of Connecticut as well as corporations and institutions such as PepsiCo and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Residential clients included Keith and Patti Richards as well as Garry Trudeau and Jane Pauley. The firm‘s best known project is the Sandy Hook school in Newtown Connecticut completed in 2016.
Barry is currently preparing for an exhibition of his paintings in Cortona, Italy for the fall of 2025.
