Hsinming Fung, FAIA, is a lifelong advocate for the arts and architecture education. She co-founded the design firm Hodgetts + Fung (HplusF) with Craig Hodgetts in 1984. The studio is noted for its expertise in the design of unique places for learning, cultural events, and civic functions. With complementary backgrounds in urban design, architecture, and industrial design—Fung as director of design and Hodgetts as creative director—the duo have a singular ability to integrate divergent needs in order to create memorable designs for significant projects. Their approach to this work is multifaceted—embracing visitor experience, technology, and iconic presence in a disciplined process resulting in a bold, uncompromising architecture. This method has been instrumental in achieving a fusion of architecture and contemporary culture.
In 2008, HplusF was named AIACC Firm of the Year and, in 2006, awarded an AIA/LA Gold Medal. Award-winning projects include the design of the iconic new orchestra shell at the Hollywood Bowl, Menlo-Atherton Performing Arts Center, CalArts’ Wild Beast Pavilion, Jesuit High School Chapel, and Nashville’s new Ascend Amphitheater. Current projects include the renovation of Culver City’s historic Robert Frost Auditorium and West Hollywood mixed-use developments.
Fung is the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI_Arc) Director of International Programs & Institutional Relationships. Past positions at SCI_Arc include Director of Academic Affairs (2010-1015) and Director of Graduate Programs (2002-2010). Previous to SCI-Arc, Fung has taught at Yale, Ohio State, and Cal Poly Pomona. In 2001, she was appointed by President Bill Clinton as a council member of the National Endowment for the Arts, and has served as a national peer for the General Services Administration. Fung presently serves on the Board of Directors for Places Journal.
