Real Matter Workshop is a community-driven education program for architects. The seven night program features visiting lecturers and local speakers that touch down on realized stressors, and possible solutions. The program addresses projects that aspirationally set standards for possibilities in architecture to change cities.
Night six features Adam Ruffin, Principal and Partner at ARCHITECTUREFIRM. Adam Ruffin studied architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Virginia, receiving a Master of Architecture in 2002. For 15 years he worked with Thomas Phifer and Partners in New York City rising to the role of Associate Director. As one of the longest tenured members of that team, he managed and developed some of the firm’s most important cultural and residential projects, including the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York, the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, North Carolina, the Cine Colombia Headquarters in Bogota, Colombia, the Chelsea Arts Studio in New York City, the Dallas Residence and Gallery in Dallas, Texas, the Fishers Island House on Fishers Island, New York, and the United States Courthouse in Salt Lake City, Utah. Many of these projects garnered AIA National Honor and Merit Awards as well as international recognition for the office. Adam joined ARCHITECTUREFIRM in 2017 and manages the Brooklyn office, overseeing projects at the Corning Museum of Glass, the Museum of Ice Cream, multi-family projects in Washington DC and Virginia, and private residences in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Montauk.
