Alan Aranoff                                                         

Alan holds a M. Arch degree (architecture and urban design), as well as a Bachelor's Degree in Economics, from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). There he was privileged to study under some of the world's leading architects, including Charles W. Moore and Frank Israel.  He also received a special grant for the study of the interaction of climate and architecture, with research directed by Professor Baruch Givoni at Ben Gurion University's Desert Research Institute at Sde Boker. 

Alan went on to work at Kohn Pedersen Fox Assoc. (KPF) in New York City from 1984 to 1987.  During that period he worked on the design of hotels, museums, and tall buildings, notably The Hyatt Regency in Greenwich Connecticut and 311 Wacker Drive, Chicago, Ill. 

Upon moving to Israel, Alan was employed by Karmi Architects (Ram Karmi and Ada Karmi – Melamede) in Tel Aviv as a senior designer for large scale residential and transportation projects, but primarily, for Israel's Supreme Court Building, with which he was intensely involved for over three years.

With the establishment of his own practice in 1991, Alan designed a variety of buildings from private homes, to public buildings and synagogues, through multipurpose sports complexes.  During this period he also collaborated with architects and engineers on an international level, including Moshe Safdie and Ove Arup, playing a key role in the design of the complex forms of the Rabin Center in Tel Aviv.  Alan's conceptual design for the Be'er Sheva regional and local court complex for Barhana Architects was also completed during this time.

In 2011, Alan teamed up with Isaac Halfon in founding AI Architecture and Urban Design.

Alan Aranoff is licensed to practice architecture in Israel and the United States (New York).
