Keith Boswell

AIA, Director

Keith Boswell's design approach is to integrate detail and system concepts in the early phases of design and continue refinement through Construction Documents and the Construction Phase.

As technical architecture director of SOM’s San Francisco office, Keith Boswell orchestrates and oversees detailed design and construction documentation for all San Francisco projects. Since joining SOM in 1981, his experience includes high-rise office buildings, museums, retail spaces, government projects, amusement parks, and international and domestic airport passenger terminals. He has also developed expertise in overseas projects, working with local owners and contractors to use regional materials to meet international standards for quality and performance.

Keith is a specialist in designing and executing technically complex building systems, such as curtainwalls, elevator systems and special construction. He is actively engaged in research and application of materials and systems for use in SOM designs. He has also developed expertise in coordinating overseas projects, where additional challenges lie in interfacing with local suppliers and craftsmen. Among his accomplishments overseas are the Beijing headquarters for Lenovo, China’s largest computer company, The New Beijing Poly Plaza, The Poly International Plaza in Guangzhou, and Ayala Tower One and Philippine Stock Exchange, both in Manila.
