Burt Pinnock's passion for design has created award-winning work time and time again, from historic sites and cultural institutions to forward-thinking companies and foundations. He previously served as Chair of the Commonwealth of Virginia Art & Architectural Review Board and Vice Chair of the Richmond 300 Advisory Board, and is a co-founder of Storefront for Community Design, amongst many other notable board and committee engagements. For Burt, architecture isn't a job; it's his personal contribution to the wellbeing and vitality of our communities. He frequently speaks and writes on the impact of race, power, and societal norms on design, memorialization, and community, which includes lectures and panel discussions for NOMA's National Conference, UCLA Costen Institute of Archaeology, The Society of Architectural Historians, Bonner Center for Civic Engagement at the University of Richmond, Urban Design Annual Conference, and the Congress for New Urbanism.
