Join us in congratulating these three Fellows!
Keith Hui FAIA
With more than 25 years of experience, Keith is an architect who specializes in planning and designing airport terminals and support buildings around the world. Based in Seattle, he leads HOK’s A+T practice in the Pacific Northwest.
Keith has extensive experience working in the aviation and transportation industry, helping establish HOK’s A+T practice in the Seattle, Hong Kong and Houston studios.
A frequent author, Keith has published work in Airport World and Passenger Terminal World covering topics from increasing diversity and inclusion in aviation design to designing passenger-friendly terminals for the 21st century.
Kevin Kudo-King FAIA
Kevin Kudo-King, FAIA, LEED AP, is a principal and owner at Olson Kundig. Since joining the firm in 1996, he has led award-winning projects worldwide. Shaped by his education in the Arizona-Sonoran Desert and extensive travel, Kevin designs sensory-rich spaces that honor site, culture, and craft.
Building on the Pacific Northwest’s craft-based tradition, his work reinterprets local materials, construction methods, and cultural practices to create architecture rooted in place. Across a diverse portfolio of botanical gardens, wellness resorts, and private residences, he brings a deep understanding of site, climate, and layered histories.
Kevin’s approach to architecture engages local traditions, collective memory, and environmental stewardship. Through close collaboration with builders, craftspeople, and interdisciplinary teams, his process becomes iterative and inclusive, reflecting shared expertise and enriching the user experience. Whether framing expansive landscapes or shaping intimate interiors, Kevin believes design can strengthen communities, deepen our connection to the natural world, and support well-being through an unfolding experience of space.
