[edit] Notability
Brad Cloepfil is the principal of Allied Works Architecture in Portland, is the winner of AIA awards, has designed multiple significant buildings & was awarded the commission for the Clifford Still Museum in Denver. A quick Google should confirm his notoriety. --Lockley 23:43, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- Still needs some sources per WP:BIO to establish notability. Also, with a little work this would be a start class, such as more sources, an infobox, formatting. Aboutmovies 03:18, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Notability has now been satisfied. Aboutmovies (talk) 23:39, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Material removed from article:
Brad Cloepfil (born 1957) founded Allied Works Architecture in 1994 in his native Portland, Oregon. Today the firm employees more than 40 people in offices in New York City and Portland. From its earliest works – the Sitings Project (conceptual designs for five distinct sites across the Pacific Northwest), Wieden+Kennedy (adaptive re-use of an historic warehouse in Portland), and the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis (the firm’s first major free-standing public building) – Allied Works quickly established a strong reputation among art and design professionals and began to attract the attention of the press and public. Cloepfil’s current projects include the Seattle Art Museum, the University of Michigan Museum of Art, the Museum of Arts & Design (New York), Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (Dallas) and a small number of significant residences, primarily for art collectors. Allied Works was selected in November 2006 to design the new Clyfford Still Museum in Denver, Colorado, which will house the legendary artist’s 2,400 works, many of which have never been publicly exhibited, and is working on a new animation studio for Disney in Glendale, California. After a period of working in Switzerland for Mario Botta (1982-83), Cloepfil returned to the United States searching for a way to make a new American architecture that would be specific to its place: an architecture of clarity and rigor, elemental and universal, capable of incorporating the many layers and ambiguities of American experience. Cloepfil characterizes his work as the “making of not just form, but space.” In the July/August 2007 issue of Metropolis Magazine says, “Brad Cloepfil’s emerging body of work may symbolize a shift away from glib shape-making toward a more timeless and lasting architecture.”

[edit] Complete rewrite
Although I've completely rewritten the article, I don't believe any information was lost, except the last paragraph which was poorly sourced (it linked to a message board post). I'll leave the deletion of the cleaup tag to you fellow Wikipedians, pending peer approval. Cluskillz (talk) 02:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
