Biography

Taejun James Kim is an architect with diverse project design experience and the Director of Architectural Design in the E4H Washington, D.C., office. Projects in healthcare, higher education, office, mixed-use, multi-family, retail, senior living, and affordable housing areas fall under Taejun's project design expertise, and he consequently provides interdisciplinary architectural design strategies that consider numerous aspects of the user and public experience for a project. Taejun actively engages in all phases of the design process, from concept to construction, as he is of the opinion that an idea cannot be properly realized as a building without complementary details and practical considerations.

With his passion for imparting his experience to the upcoming generations of architects, Taejun is a frequent guest critic for graduate school and college-level architectural education programs, a former adjunct faculty member in the School of Architecture & Planning at Morgan State University, and currently a lecturer in the School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Prior to joining E4H, he worked at Cannon Design and Hord Coplan Macht.
