Michael Pyatok FAIA (BArch honors '66, Pratt Institute; M.Arch. honors, Harvard GSD '67) has had his own architectural firm since 1985, including Pyatok Architects in Oakland and Seattle, while sustaining a teaching and research practice focused on the design of community facilities and housing, including both suburban and urban developments. Among numerous awards and design competition victories, the firm has recently captured two from HUD for Innovative Design for Home Ownership. Publications include Good Neighbors: The Design of Affordable Family Housing (1996, with Tom Jones and William Pettus), and numerous articles in popular and professional publications.

Since 1990 a tenured member of the faculty of the UW Department of Architecture and in 1983 a Loeb Fellow at Harvard University, he has studied real estate development strategies by non-profit corporations using government assistance. As a Fulbright Fellow in 1969, he studied housing and urban design policies of Finland. Professional alliances and activities include service on the Board of Directors of AIA East Bay; membership in Architects, Designers, and Planners for Social Responsibility, and in the National Coalition for the Homeless and the National Low Income Housing Coalition. His advancement to the AIA College of Fellows, in 1995, recognized the quality of design he has brought to affordable housing in lower income communities.
