FIRM PROFILE Randall Stout Architects, Inc. (RSA) is a Los Angeles-based architectural, interiors, planning, and urban design firm, with award winning national and international projects. Founded more than a decade ago, RSA has designed numerous buildings that are recognized as prominent architectural icons within and beyond their respective communities. Not only do they aesthetically embody the ethics and values of the clients they serve, but they also engage the public with uplifting forms and spaces that incite curiosity and respect. RSA takes great care in creating forms that are inviting and artistic without being static. Light, shadow, form, and materials all contribute to shaping a dynamic architecture that heightens one’s awareness of space and sense of discovery; the sequences of rooms and views emphasizes the experience of the building rather than the display of form. Users are not a passive audience on a stage but actors in their own unfolding space. Although RSA’s work is unquestionably contemporary in nature, it does not have a singular style. Instead, each project expresses the uniqueness of its each site, regional context, and client objectives. These expressions tend toward abstraction, allowing individual interpretation and meaning. Collectively, Randall Stout Architects buildings contain a narrative that expresses optimism about our culture, technology, and arts, evidencing their place in the 21st century. Recognizing the interdependence of design innovation and functionality, RSA fields a highly talented team that methodically pursues creative design solutions. The materials used to realize these goals are often not exotic. With a proven expertise in executing complex and specialized projects, Randall Stout and the design team prefer to work in a “matter-of-fact” manner, using familiar building materials with excellent life-cycle value, crafting them in ways that make the ordinary extraordinary. Randall Stout Architects also understands the importance of architecture’s role in the global environment. The team includes LEED accredited architects who are active with the California Council Sustainability Task Force and the AIA’s Committee on the Environment and are focused on sustainability and environmental responsibility. RSA projects have been recognized for both design and environmental excellence and have received top sustainability awards in the United States and Europe including an AIA/COTE “Top Ten Green” Award and the SOLTEC 98 Award for “Innovation in Technology”. Current cultural and educational projects by Randall Stout Architects include the Art Gallery of Alberta (Edmonton, Alberta); University of Alabama at Birmingham Institute for the Visual Arts (Birmingham, Alabama); the San Juan College Creative Arts Center (Farmington, New Mexico); and the Dockweiler State Beach Youth Center (Los Angeles, California).
