ANDREW COGAR
Architect with Historical Concepts, Atlanta

“Past Meets Present: Applying the Southern Vernacular
Precedent of Yesterday to the Designs of Today”

Andrew Cogar, University of Miami School of Architecture alumnus and partner with Historical Concepts, an Atlanta-based traditional architecture firm, delves into the pages of the firm's new book, Coming Home: the Southern Vernacular House. He will take you into new and restored homes, from simple cottages to gracious estates, and explain how the rich architectural heritage of the south has helped define his firm’s architectural vocabulary and distinct aesthetic style. He will explore architectural patterns of the past and discuss how they have diverged into unique local and regional interpretations ranging from the Low Country to the Treasure Coast.

Mr. Cogar graduated from the School of Architecture in 1996 and joined Historical Concepts in 1999. Since that time he has achieved the distinction of being one of the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s “40 under 40,” highlighting Atlanta’s rising business leaders. During his tenure with Historical Concepts, he has won numerous awards, including those from the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA), Period Homes magazine, and Southern Living Home Awards. He is on the national board of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art and is a founding member of the Atlanta chapter of the Congress for the New Urbanism. He has lectured and served as a guest critic at the University of Miami and the Georgia Institute of Technology, and has received the University of Miami School of Architecture Award for Alumni Service.
