 John Peterson is the principal of Peterson Architects as well as the founder and chair of Public Architecture. Established in 1993 and based in San Francisco, Peterson Architects focused initially on residential projects involving challenging design and land use issues. John has subsequently developed the firm into a design-intensive practice enriched by the contributions of a diverse group of professionals with expertise in architecture, education, graphic design, journalism, landscape architecture, law, and publishing. This diversity of expertise is reflected in a diversity of projects, which include mixed-use development, institutional projects, and private residences. John and his firm have also dedicated substantial amounts of time to arts institutions, city agencies, community development corporations, and social service agencies. In 2002, the firm's unorthodox pro bono work evolved into Public Architecture.
In addition to his service via Public Architecture, John serves on several nonprofit boards, including Urban Solutions as well as the South of Market Business Association. He is a mayoral appointed member of the City of San Francisco’s Green Vision Council and was a mayoral appointed technical consultant to the City’s Partnership for Affordable Nonprofit Space.
John earned his Bachelor of Architecture and Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in landscape architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design. He is a registered architect in the state of California. During the 2005-2006 academic year, John was a Loeb Fellow within the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
