Phil Chang, AIA
Design Architect

Phil is a Project Designer at Vines Architecture and holds a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Virginia, School of Architecture. Prior to joining Vines in 2023, he worked for two years at a Boston-based firm called Oudens-Ello Architecture. While at Oudens-Ello, Phil was intimately involved with several key projects­—most notably the Norwell Public Library, which was awarded the 2021 AIA New England Design Award. While completing his undergraduate degree in architecture at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Phil was an intern at Leers Weinzapfel Associates, where he worked on the John W. Olver Design Building. Since its completion in 2017, the project has been nationally recognized as a pioneer of mass-timber construction and most recently won the 2023 AIA Architecture Award. Currently at Vines, Phil brings with him his breadth of experience, expertise, and craft to the NC History Center on the Civil War, Emancipation, and Reconstruction.

Phil’s academic works have been widely recognized by awards, publications, and media platforms including the 2018 AIA D.C. Unbuilt Award, the 2018 S.ARCH Conceptual Design Award shortlist, and an interview with KoozArch for his final graduate project, City Fragments, Building Transitions: An Urban Stitching of Hong Kong Through Film. His academic works have gained international exposure through exhibitions such as the Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture in Hong Kong and the Yamuna River Project Exhibition in New Delhi.

Aside from architecture, Phil enjoys developing his interests and curiosity in photography, film, guitar, and the outdoors.
