Quilting.... as a sense of community
"The AIDS Quilt blankets the world of
prejudice and fear with a sign of hope
and sews a collective human face on this
disease to heal the bitterness between people"
....The 'NAMES' Project
The quote above was the inspiration for Jeffrey Shorn +
Vonn Marie May's winning design solution for a Living AIDS
Memorial in Balboa Park, San Diego
Jeffrey D. Shorn, a registered California architect, has been active in the architectural field both nationally and internationally for the past twenty-five years. After receiving his degree in architecture from Pratt Institute in New York, he spent two years in Iran with the U.S. Peace Corps. Following his return to the US, he worked for the Hilton Hotel Corporation- International Division, where he worked on the design and planning for Hilton's international resort projects at the Al-Jabail resort in Saudi Arabia and the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec, Canada.
As Design Partner, his portfolio includes projects for the Cities of San Diego and Chula Vista, Kaiser Permanente and UC San Diego. His extensive involvement in historic preservation has also brought him recognition and praise. His design work for restoration of Unit No. 7 in Rudolph Schindler's El Pueblo Ribera Complex, in La Jolla, has received much recognition and numerous awards.
In San Diego, Mr. Shorn's activities has encompassed a wide breadth of involvement: former Dean of the Newschool of Architecture, a past member of the City Manager's Seismic Retrofit Committee, a much respected eight year member of the San Diego Historic Resources Board, a consultant to the Sherman Heights Historic Rehabilitation Program, the El Cajon Boulevard BIA storefront improvement program and Vice President of Save Our Heritage Organization (SOHO).
His commitment to local community preservation placed him on the board of the La Jolla Historical Society for almost ten years. Statewide he served as a Trustee on the California Preservation Foundation (CPF). Through these efforts and concerns for the historic fabric of San Diego and California we have a much richer and more diverse community.
Our firm meets the Professional Qualifications as outlined by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's (Historic Preservation) Professional Qualifications Standards for Architectural History, Architecture and Historic Architecture.
