Kyle Bergman
Architect Kyle Bergman has been involved with Pacific Rim Park since it started in 1994. He has been actively involved with every park as well as being on the board of directors and as the president of the board. With eight parks already built, the next chapter for PRP is to create more parks, more often and further strengthen the ties that connect the PRP family.
Kyle Bergman has been involved with design/build education since 1992 when he created and moderated an architectural lecture series about the design/build process for the Smithsonian Institute. He has taught community design/build classes in the Dominican Republic for the Yestermorrow Design/Build School in Vermont, and served on their board of directors for 9 years.
Mr. Bergman founded the Architecture & Design Film Festival (ADFF) in 2009 and serves as its festival director. He has always recognized the strong connection between architecture and film and ADFF provides a unique opportunity to educate, entertain and engage people who are passionate about the world of architecture and design. Now in its 12th season, ADFF has grown to become the largest film festival dedicated to the creative spirit of architecture and design.
An entrepreneur at heart, Mr. Bergman founded Alt Spec in 1999, a publishing company that produced a visual resource of unique and alternative products for architects and designers. He also produced a play, The Glass House, about the design and construction of two famous homes — Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House and Phillip Johnson’s Glass House.
