Background

About John W. Cahill

I have structured my life around architecture, foreign languages, and music. A love of fine arts and humanities has been balanced by years of practice in building technology. Breadth of experience allows me to function in many different environments. I have worked in German-speaking offices in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Architectural work experience includes: •construction drawing development •consultant co-ordination •design development •competition and schematic design projects •client and building authority contact •presentation drawings and models •team leadership •archiving •administrative assistance Recent work experience with Emporis, CTBUH, and Phorio has focused on documentation of tall buildings. I create building data profiles through research, data gathering, and photography. My extensive knowledge of North American cities and their outstanding buildings made me a leading contributor, with over buildings and photos added. As conduits to real estate and architectural communities, these web-based projects were a unique opportunity to advocate for inner-city redevelopment by cataloguing major buildings. Recent professional development has focused on European languages, with the aim of developing communication skills in the fields of architecture and urbanism. Registered Architect since 1990. I look forward to 25-30 more years of professional activity. Specialties: Strong verbal and technical skills, focus on product development. International work experience.
