Paul Schulhof co-founded Schulhof Rashidi Architects with Azadeh Rashidi in 2022, with commissions for two museums: the Dubuque Museum of Art and the William King Museum of Art. Paul was previously a partner at Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects + Partners (TWBTA) where he worked for 25 years and played a pivotal role in numerous award-winning projects that have been recognized nationally and internationally.

 

As a lead designer Paul brings a deep commitment to a collaborative approach, ensuring that every project is closely connected to its community, site, and environment. His leadership has been distinguished by his work in academic and public architecture, notably the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, which is on track to become one of the largest certified Net Zero projects in the U.S. and the new US Embassy in Mexico City, one of the most complex diplomatic facilities ever built and the first under the State Department’s Excellence in Diplomatic Facilities initiative. His work in higher education includes the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York which is associated with Columbia University and the Kim and Tritton Dormitory at Haverford College. His leadership on the Banyan Park campus for TATA Consultancy Services was vital in guiding the project through a decade-long process from masterplan to completion, earning AIA NY’s “Best in Competition” award in 2019. Paul’s residential design work has garnered multiple awards in New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, and has been featured in the New York Times and in multiple architectural journals.

 

In 2013, Paul was honored as a partner when TWBTA received the prestigious American Institute of Architects Firm Award, a top distinction given annually to one U.S. practice. He has served as a juror on design award panels across the country, taught at the graduate level, and been a guest critic at numerous institutions. He has also lectured extensively on topics such as craftsmanship, community-driven design, creative visioning, and sustainability. Paul holds a Bachelor of Science from Cornell University and a Master of Architecture from the University of Virginia.
