GUY MESSICK, AIA

Architect/Director of Design Technology

“Design is an innovative process to determine the best way to arrange elements, and BIM is the tool that TLCD uses to implement the design.”

Trained in fine arts, design and woodworking, Guy finds architecture as the profession best able to unite these disciplines. With his strengths in both design and technology, Guy has blazed a trail at TLCD to propel the firm into a leadership position inBuilding Information Modeling or BIM. This methodology allows Guy to be more responsive to client requirements, from programming and design as well as extraordinary efficiency in construction. Guy balances work as a project architect with education of the firm and AEC community at large in BIM technology, as a way to elevate its use in the industry. Innovation itself is not enough, but combined with thoughtful, passionate design and real life building experience, Guy brings depth to the project and value to the client.

Guy is a licensed architect in California and a member of the American Institute of Architects.

As Director of Design Technology, Guy has been highly involved with the evolution of Building Information Modeling at the firm.
