BIOGRAPHY

Arrol Gellner is an architect with over twenty years experience in residential, commercial, and industrial architecture. He is a Cum Laude graduate of the College of Environmental Design, University of California, Berkeley. His current work ranges from upscale homes, additions, and industrial lofts in the San Francisco Bay Area, to a 200-acre resort project in Shanghai, China.

Gellner writes the nationally-syndicated architecture column Architext, which appears in the Chicago Tribune,
San Francisco Chronicle, and numerous other newspapers via Inman News Features. He has authored many other articles on design and the history of American architecture, and has completed his third book with veteran photographer Douglas Keister. (For more, please select "The Books" in the Home Page sidebar.) He is a frequent speaker on architectural subjects, and has served on panels with some of California's most distinguished architects.

His other interests include classic cars and music writing and recording. He lives and works in a renovated turn-of-the-century firehose factory near San Francisco, which he grudgingly shares with a 1955 Studebaker.
