in 1997. He has been a Partner in the firm for the past eight years. A versatile designer with experience in an array of educational project types including stadiums, natatoriums, libraries, administrative facilities and food courts, Konrad is intensely collaborative and motivating with clients and internal teams.
Konrad chose school design because of the effect learning environments
have on the way curriculum is delivered--and received. “I love to be
challenged beyond what is typical in school design. The tight budgets,
extensive programmatic requirements, numerous types of materials, and
the variety of contextual, cultural, and behavioral influences all contribute
to making each educational endeavor unique. That’s only underscored by
the passion educators themselves inherently contribute to each project.”
Earning his Bachelors of Arts degree in Architecture from Texas Tech
University and holding an architectural license in Texas, Konrad is also
a member of the American Institute of Architects and National Council
of Architectural Registration Boards. He is also an active member in his
church.
Konrad has presented at conferences such as the National AIA Convention
and School Building Expo. The 2009 AASA Shirley Cooper Award honored
the design he led for the Frisco Independent School District’s Career and
Technical Education Center. That facility was also featured recently in the
January/February 2010 edition of Texas Architect Magazine.
Barry Hand
AIA, LEED AP, BD+C, Principal RTKL Associates Inc., Dallas, RTKL.COM
Barry Hand, AIA LEED BD+C, an alumnus of the College of Architecture at Texas Tech University where he earned the Henry C. Adams Medal upon graduation in 1990, is a Principal in the Dallas office of RTKL. His diverse project experience spans urban commercial complexes, corporate centers, hospitality environments, education facilities, as well as mixes of different uses on site specific projects.
Mr. Hand has been managing design teams involved in complex project processes around the world since returning to RTKL in early 2005. His organizational skills, attention to client service, and synthesis of design, urban planning, and financial/technical requirements are key to successfully orchestrating the many players and components required in large mixed-use projects. Additionally, Barry’s comprehensive understanding of projects applied over the long duration of many successful large developments has been instrumental in RTKL’s repeat business, and further international expansion into Latin America and the Middle East.
Interested in the powerful influence of mixed-use redevelopment in revitalizing decaying urban perimeters, Barry recently wrote a semester long curriculum, and then led a larger group of RTKL design experts as instructors in graduate level design studios for the College of Architecture at Texas Tech University. A member of the American Planning Association, Barry currently serves as a full member of the City Planning Commission in Richardson, and serves the College as an Adjunct Studio Critic.
Barry has now closely mentored several semesters of Texas Tech Practicum Studio students placed in the Dallas office of RTKL.

W. Mark Gunderson
Architect, Fort Worth
Ronnie Wooten
FAIA
Randy Hutcheson
Director, City of Fort Worth, Preservation and Design Division

AIA, LEED AP, NCARB - Principal, BOKA Powell, Dallas

Mr. Chapel is an alumni of Texas Tech University.
John E. Orfield
LEED AP - Principal, BOKA Powell, Dallas
A graduate of Columbia University with a Master of Science in Architecture and Building Design, John Orfield is both product and proponent of the collaborative style that is exemplified in BOKA Powell. Influenced professionally by both his theatrical mother and engineering father, John enjoys exploring the kinship between architecture, film and dance, art forms he sees as related in their portrayal of human experience moving through time and space. He has sought out collaborative environments or created them on the spot in design firms and universities from New York to Indianapolis to Mexico City. John considers every project a partnership, not only between the architect and the client, but also with the site itself. He sees this contextual approach as one reason why there is no recognizable BOKA Powell "style", only spaces that benefit their surroundings as the result of a very intentional design process.
Dennis Gulseth

Mr. Gulseth is an alumni of Texas Tech University and currently is a Senior Associate in BOKA Powell's Dallas Office.
