PROPYLAEA

Founded in 2000, PROPYLÆA boasts a unique multidisciplinary environment for architects, artists and craftspeople to engage in a broad array of creative endeavors. These include realized architectural projects and design competitions; architectural custom woodworking;museum collected sculpture; construction administration and design research on a domestic and international level. The vision for PROPYLÆA grew out of founder Harry Gaveras' long history of working with his father, a superb master craftsman in his own right. Being surrounded by old world craftsmanship and finely honed woodwork inspired Mr. Gaveras to study architecture. It is during this time at Cooper Union and Harvard University that his philosophy of a constant dialogue between the ideal of concept and the precision of method took shape.
