About
Associate Director of the Division of Architecture, tenured Associate Professor and Division Curriculum Coordinator Daniel Butko regularly teaches 2nd and 4th year design studios, materials and sustainable technology courses, an upper division architectural acoustics elective and design-build opportunities. His community-engaged research focuses on materials, sustainability and acoustics with numerous awarded university, private and industry partnerships as well as government grants. Publications and paper presentations include collaborative efforts within national and international conferences and journals, including ACSA and ASA.
Daniel’s professional experience spans over 27 years in all phases of design, client management, consultant collaboration, acoustical expertise and construction administration with Populous, JE Dunn, Russ Berger Design Group and private consulting practices. He was the architect of the $7+ million 2018 completed home for Dallas City News in Fair Park. Notable awards include the College of Architecture 2015 Outstanding Educator Award, the 2012 EPA P3 Award (sustainability in design and construction), the 2005 Robert Bradford Newman Medal (architectural acoustics), and the 1993 Walt Disney Dreamers and Doers Award (creativity and constancy).
“Analogous to the construction process of each piece building upon the next, architectural education and practice encompass a multifaceted process of codependent components.”
