Fredrick H. Zal is a sculptor and the principal architect of Atelier Z, an.architecture and industrial design studio, which advocates dialogue in the fine + applied arts. By striking a balance between praxis and theoros we passionately engage our work with a focus upon empathy, morphology, and materiality. These projects range in scale and typology from graphic and web design, to furniture, component design, remodels, single-family custom homes, multi-family mixed-use housing, retail environments, civic and institutional buildings, pedestrian bridges, urban design, and design competition management. Fredrick lectures on these subjects around the United States, where the work is regularly published and exhibited.

As an adjunct and visiting professor at a number of Universities, Fredrick educates fine + applied art students about the impetus of their design pedagogy through speculation upon fundamental concepts of light, statics and kinetics, material science, land|form, and bodily movement by investigating their correlation to the spaces we form into our urban environments.
