Review of Jeffrey Blydenburgh\'s Projects and Career.

1. Jeffrey Blydenburgh Architect
Excellent design can change and enrich peoples’ lives: be it places for
work, play, learning, or living. In my career as an architect, I have
worked to carry out this belief in all my projects.
As a designer, I believe in the power of place: I look for the new
and different direction: for a solution that is based on content, not
style or the look of the moment. As a facilitator, I help the client to
understand and identify their needs. As a manager, I organize the
project to provide the resources to answer the need--with innovation,
good creative design and value.
A registered architect for over 30 years, I provide design, project
management, facilitation, planning, and strategic visioning services to
a broad range of private and public clients.
Since 2002 I have worked collaboratively with long time colleagues
Chris Miles of Lighthouse Creative and Pete Karamitsanis of Lighthouse
Adviosrs to serve a broad range of clients including Parches Cove,
Chesapeake Atlantic Tampa Bay Buccs, Kitson Partners and Athlon
Resorts. In addition to this team practice, I am the president of
Lighthouse Leisure International, a tourism destination design and
development company.
My career has ranged from sole practitioner to senior leadership
positions at major architectural firms. I was with HOK for ten years and
was a founding member of HOK Studio E, a design studio specializing
in placemaking and entertainment design.
Introduction

2. Jeffrey Blydenburgh Architect
Prior to joining HOK, from 1985 to 1988 I was the restoration architect
for the Los Angeles Redevelopment Agency. In this position, I worked
with developers to arrive at the appropriate solution for the restoration
of their downtown properties. From 1977 to 1985, I was design
partner with Ralph Beckman at Beckman Blydenburgh and Associates
in Providence Rhode Island. I began my design career at the Research
and Design Institute, also in Providence.
I have brought my creative and managment skills to a variety of
notable projects include Wolfsburg, Germany Entertainment Master
Plan; master plans for Eustis, Florida; Brooklyn Park, Minnesota;
American Tobacco redevelopment, Durham, NC; Wiregrass Village in
Wesley Chapel, Florida; Universal Citywalk in Orlando; Heron Urban
Entertainment Centers in several locations across Europe; repositioning
of CocoWalk in Miami; the Abu Dhabi Family Entertainment Center; the
Sakhalin Casino in Russia; the Buccs Pirate Ship and Skull Island in
Tampa Florida and others.
My design education began at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn in 1966. I
graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a Bachelor
of Architecture in 1971. I received my MBA in 1996 from Washington
University in St. Louis.
