Keith Snider is
the President and founder of Keith A Snider Architect Incorporated
and he contributes as the primary designer and the managing partner
of the company.
Keith Snider
discovered his passion for architecture when he first experienced
Louis Kahn’s Kimball Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. It was at
that moment standing in the Texas heat that I understood the
difference between a building and architecture. I realized the
difference is found in the detail, materials, and the control of
natural light.
Keith is the
President and founder of KASAI and contributes as the primary
designer and managing partner. He is a licensed Florida architect
and his twenty-one years of design experience includes townhouse
developments, multi-story office buildings, mixed-use buildings, and
custom residential houses.
In addition to
his contribution to KASAI, he also has served on the City of Delray
Beach Historical Preservation Board. And he maintains close ties to
the academic community. He currently teaches Construction Law,
Sustainable Design, Design and Drafting at ITT Technical Institute.
His written
works include the essay Measuring the Plastic Aesthetic which
explores the two different roles vision plays in Le Corbusier’s
Verse Une Architecture, and how this organizes and defines the
architectural experience.
Before KASAI he
worked as a staff architect for Seawood Builders and Davies
Architects. His previous projects include the 90,000 square foot
regional headquarters for Océ Printing Systems, USA; 180,000 square
foot calling center for AutoNation; the Science Building, High
