HANK LOUIS
Hank Louis was born in Chicago in nineteen and fifty-one. Some of his formative years were spent in Orleans, France, where his father served in the Army as an orthopedist captain during peacetime, which led to multiple trips to Zermatt and Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Alas, his father then moved his allergies to Phoenix, Arizona. Hank went back to the cold to be educated at Deerfield Academy, where visions of the cheerleaders on the sidelines of televised University of Southern California football games became more and more appealing, and even though, according to the counselors, it was a “back-up” or “safety” application, he chose the sun and the beach and, though the smallest of fishes, the NCAA swimming championship.
To graduate with a Humanities degree Hank decided to drive south to Tierra del Fuego in order to learn Spanish. After eleven months he arrived in Costa Rica, but learned, passed and received a diploma. He continued to work in journalism, translating for World Press Review and working with the ex-pat English language newspaper, and writing to be published in “little” or literary magazines. A stint in Boston made him an avid Red Sox fan for life. Facing the opportunity to work for the L.A. Times he drove with his wife and year-old son cross country, stopping in Park City for a two week ski vacation before facing the looming dose of real life. The car broke down on the way out of town and before it could be fixed they had bought a house and helped found The Newspaper, which soon bought out the Park Record and took its name. During this time Hank co-founded Silver Vain, a literary magazine which won an O’Henry Prize Award for short fiction, and became Editor of a monthly magazine, The Intermountain Skier, while all the time stringing for Powder, Ski and Outside.
Back to Costa Rica, Hank worked mornings on a still-unpublished coming-of-age type novel, and afternoons on designing and building a house in the jungle with zero utilities, nor roads. Two and half years later, the house finally finished enough, enamored with the process of designing and building, he enrolled in the Masters of Architecture program at the University of Utah. He graduated with a Certificate of Merit for the study of Architecture from the Henry Adams Fund of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). He co-founded 15-15 Architects in Park City, which completed projects throughout the United States, Japan, Singapore and France.
In the late 1990s Hank discovered his current passion, teaching a design/build studio at the College of Architecture+Planning at the University of Utah. He has gone forward to found DesignBuildBLUFF, a nonprofit support organization to the aforementioned entity, which takes first-year graduate students to the Navajo Reservation, where they select a family from on-site interviews and then proceed to design a home for that family throughout the fall semester. During spring, beginning in cold, cold January, they build the home, learning everything from the ramifications of mere lines on paper to teamwork to interacting with a third-world culture. The program has won numerous AIA Design Awards and been published in DWELL, Domus, Architectural Record and Shelter, among many other publications. His architectural firm is now named Gigaplex.
