Zachary Wignall is an architect and artist based in Seattle, Washington. His approach to architecture is rooted in subtle qualities of space, a process that prioritizes the body’s relationship to place. His process has taken him beyond the studio. As a recipient of the SOM Prize and ‘T’ Space Residency, he has traveled extensively throughout the US and Europe to explore and speculate on how intangible qualities of light, shadow, texture, transparency, and spatial layers inform an individual’s relationship to space. These experiential gestures between landscape, space, and the body offer an opportunity to deepen our relationship to the built world. Alongside his architectural practice, Zachary maintains a parallel art practice; producing layered paintings and fabric assemblages that interrogate the same questions of subtlety at a different scale, and has exhibited work in both Seattle and Bellevue. He has spent his career developing a design process that cultivates curiosity between person and place. Zachary is an SOM Fellow, a ‘T’ Space Residency Fellow, and holds a Master of Architecture from the University of Florida. He is a licensed architect in the state of Washington.
