JAMES D. COWAN, JR.
James D. Cowan, Jr. AIA, NOMA, NCARB, is a registered architect based in Cleveland, Ohio, with over 15 years of experience. Beyond practicing architecture, James’s vision to provide architectural, educational, and mentorship opportunities for historically marginalized communities aligns with his current role as a project architect with Robert P. Madison International. Joining RPMI is what some would call “a full circle moment” since Bob Madison, the founder, was the first architect James met before attending The College of Architecture and Environmental Design at Kent State University. Bob said during his visit, “If you’re good, you’ll get it,” about all the accolades he had received throughout his career.
In addition to practicing at RPMI, James is currently serving as Co-Director of Community Outreach for the American Institute of Architects Cleveland Chapter, working to build local and regional partnerships that foster engagement between the Cleveland design community and the underserved youth.
