Andre Kikoski ’90

Andre Kikoski ’90 received the Institute Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects, their highest recognition nationally, for his creation of The Wright, the new restaurant in the Guggenheim Museum. Kikoski’s work was selected from more than 700 submissions, and he was one of only 27 recipients worldwide who was to be honored at the AIA 2012 National Convention and Design Exposition in Washington, D.C., in May. Said Kikoski, “It was both an incredible honor and an exhilarating challenge to create The Wright...which is the first addition to the building’s iconic interior.” The jury called Kikoski’s project “sensitively handled and respectful of the essence of the original architecture.” Kikoski, an English major at Wesleyan, earned his master’s degree in architecture from Harvard University. His firm, Andre Kikoski Architect, PLLC, is located in New York City.
