Hans Baldauf, FAIA, LEED AP, is a Founding Principal of BCV Architecture + Interiors, San Francisco native, and graduate of the Yale School of Architecture. A longstanding interest in civic space has driven Hans and BCV to pursue a wide variety of project types which at their core enliven the public realm, from grand market halls and mixeduse developments to such interventions as flower stands and bus shelters. Each design problem is considered both on its own terms as well as how it fits into the larger context. Hans strongly advocates for a holistic vision of sustainability that draws inspiration from the Slow Food Movement's tenets: the celebratory aspects of Slow Food that constitutes "good" and its insistence upon "clean" and "fair." Hans has taught architecture at Yale University, University of Illinois at Chicago, and Notre Dame University, where he served as visiting faculty at their Rome Studies program. In addition to his teaching, Hans is active in the San Francisco Bay Area arts and architecture community, serving as chairman of the Maybeck Foundation and on various boards including the Friends of the Bancroft Library and the Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture (CUESA).Bruce Damonte has been commissioned to photographically tell the stories of hundreds of design projects since BDP's inception over ten years ago.

If you ask him, he will tell you, "I have been working on my portfolio since I was twelve, when my grandmother gave me my first portfolio case to display my prints." Of course that was back in the film days, when he crafted black-and-white fiber prints in a closet-turneddarkroom at his family's home. To this day he carries the same passion and enthusiasm for photography with him everywhere he happens to be. R. Brad Knipstein Studio is a full-service studio. From finding locations to retouching to pre-press and everything in between, photo production is his business.
