Fernando Fisbein Architect was established in New York in 2020. The practice’s work is devoted to the concept and details of every project, in order to achieve solutions that are architecturally, socially, and intellectually meaningful.

Always mindful of context, understood in the broadest sense, Fernando Fisbein Architect strives to reinforce in its projects a sense of belonging – to the people, to the place, and to the moment that we live in – embracing diversity and history while expanding the range of contemporary expression.

Fernando Fisbein is a licensed architect in the United States and Brazil, and a member of the American Institute of Architects.

Fernando holds a Masters in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University, New York, US, a Masters in Art History from Escola de Música e Belas Artes do Paraná, Brazil, and a Bachelors in Architecture and Urbanism from the Universidade Católica do Paraná, Brazil. He was awarded a 2021 AIA Tri-State Design Award, a 57th AIA Long Island Archi Award, US, the 20th Opera Prima Award, Brazil, and an Archiprix Prize, The Netherlands.

Prior to starting his own practice, Fernando worked under the mentorship of Peter Eisenman, Sir Nicholas Grimshaw, Enrique Norten, Jaime Lerner and Marcos Bertoldi, in groundbreaking projects of multiple scales, complexities and processes.
