John E Sather AIA, AICP
Managing Partner
John Sather is an Architect and Land Planner based in Scottdale, Arizona, and is the Managing Partner of Swaback Architects + Planners. He and his business partner, Vern Swaback, started the firm almost 45 years ago, after both left the Frank Lloyd Wright (FLLW) Foundation based at Taliesin and Taliesin West. Vern Swaback was a direct apprentice to FLLW and John was a student at the School of Architecture that continued on after Wright’s death. He currently serves as a Board of Trustee member of the School of Architecture founded by FLLW.
John’s work spans the US, Mexico, and Hawaii. His architectural involvements are centered on special case assignments where the project goal is to create precedent-setting design, such as Univision Television Headquarters, one of the largest rammed earth structures built in modern time. Additionally, he has designed numerous resorts and residences, and recently perhaps the most important environmental education and research center focused on desert and arid lands, which will be located in the Sonoran Desert.
His land planning/community design work in Hawaii, Lake Tahoe, and Sedona includes some of the most environmentally sensitive communities in the US. He has received awards for virtually all of his work, and has had numerous articles published about both his planning and architectural work. He has traveled to virtually all parts of the world in his ongoing study of architecture and community design.
