Duncan Stroik’s architectural practice grows out of a commitment to the principles of classical architecture and urbanism. Stroik’s education and career have closely paralleled the evolution of the international classical movement, and over the past decade his work has been instrumental in the new renaissance of sacred architecture. Stroik received his architectural education from the University of Virginia and Yale University. In 1990 Stroik was invited to help form and implement a new curriculum in classical architecture at the University of Notre Dame. Stroik’s design work and essays on architecture have been featured widely in print, and his work has been featured on television. He also lectures widely on the principles of traditional architecture and Catholic church design. Stroik’s involvement in the new renaissance of sacred architecture has led to the formation of the Society for Catholic Liturgy and the journal Sacred Architecture, of which he is editor. He is considered to be one of the foremost educators and practitioners in sacred architecture today. It is Stroik’s belief that a revival of sacred architecture is central to any true renaissance of architecture and civil society.
