Anne Fougeron, FAIA

Anne Fougeron, FAIA, is the principal of Fougeron Architecture in San Francisco, California. Born of French parents and raised in Paris and New York, she credits her bicultural upbringing as the source of her aesthetic values, which combine a respect for historic precedent with an interest in the intersection of old and new.

In 1986, she founded Fougeron Architecture and has gone on to design award-winning private—and public—sector projects in a decidedly modernist vocabulary. Known for her diverse portfolio, featuring projects of institutional, commercial, health-care and residential clients, each project by Fougeron Architecture is subtly provocative.  A primary concern is how the inhabitants of a building will interact with each other and with the building itself for years to come. This is architecture that enriches lives and communities, energizes our cities, and architecture that advances social equality.

Fougeron has taught architectural design to undergraduate and graduate students at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco and the University of California, Berkeley, where she served as the Howard Friedman Visiting Professor of Professional Practice in the Department of Architecture from 2003 to 2004. She continues to be involved in the design community as visiting critic for schools, lecturing on design topics, and serving on award juries.
