Raphael Thomas Justewicz is currently a senior associate with EDAW/AECOM in New York City. In this capacity he provides design overview for this flagship office on the East Coast. He began his career as an architect, with over seven years in the office of Richard Meier in New York City, where he contributed to several influential projects under the guidance of Thomas Phifer, design partner, most notably the Rachofsky House in Dallas, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, and the headquarters for Canal+ in Paris. The latter received a Progressive Architecture Award. He earned a reputation as a master draughtsman during this era of exquisite drawings of ink on mylar, for large axonometrics as well as project documents. With the experience of several competitions his interests broadened to include landscape architecture and he followed this period with matriculation at the Graduate School of Design of Harvard University. As member of the offices of Martha Schwartz and Peter Walker in Cambridge he participated in the design of current projects and also contributed with articles and columns for the design journal Land Forum, under the editorial helm of Jane Gillette and Peter Walker.

Several awards and publications can be viewed at the mikyoung kim design web site, including the national ASLA Honor Awards for the Farrar Residence in Lincoln, Massachusetts, and the ChonGae Restoration in Seoul, Korea.
