Richard Chenoweth Architect

About Richard Chenoweth

I'm an award-winning architect, architectural historian, and painter. I was the principal designer of the competition-winning Washington Metro canopy, now built at more than forty stations across the region. My digital reconstructions of B. Henry Latrobe's lost U.S. Capitol have earned three fellowships from the U.S. Capitol Historical Society.

A Glass Canopy at Hudson Yards

The entrance canopy at New York's 34th Street–Hudson Yards subway station, a gridded glass vault over the escalators, bears a family resemblance to my Washington Metro canopies.

Glavé & Holmes Architecture

Since 2022 I have been an architect in the Preservation Studio at Glavé & Holmes Architecture in Richmond, Virginia.

Washington Metro Canopy Program

Lourie & Chenoweth LLC won an international design competition for the Washington Metro Area Transit Authority's (WMATA) prototypical canopy design in 2001.

Architectural History Research

My research agenda as an architectural historian is the forensic digital investigation of lost or destroyed works of architecture using original drawings, letters, and documents.
