Scenic Hudson Board Member
Zack is a founding partner of Tsao & McKown Architects, established in 1985. The firm is known for a distinctive way of thinking rather than a trademark style and has designed projects around the world ranging in scale from urban master plans to product designs, comprised of a wide spectrum of building types, including museums, educational facilities, corporate headquarters, hotels, residential towers, and private homes. Among his noteworthy projects is Suntec City, a mixed-use development in Singapore’s central business district that created Southeast Asia’s leading convention center and the region’s first privately developed public space of major significance modeled on Rockefeller Center. Recently, under his direction, Tsao & McKown completed the design of a community for retired monks in Bhutan. In 2006, Zack was elected a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, and along with his partner, Calvin Tsao, he was honored at the White House in 2009 for receiving a Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award. He is a longtime board member of the Design Trust for Public Space in New York, and is a member of the Bhutan Foundation’s Advisory Council.
