Adam Kushner was born in New York City and subsequently moved to suburban Long Island where he graduated from Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School. He then obtained his BA in architecture in 1986 at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, his MArch in architecture in 1994 at Cornell University, and founded Kushner Studios in 1994. Kushner has taught at Pratt Institute in the Graduate School of Architecture, as an adjunct professor at NJIT and NYIT, Rutgers University, and as a design studio instructor at Cornell University.[1][2][3][4]

In House Group, affiliated contracting venture

Kushner Studio’s practice includes the related fields of construction and hands-on fabrication for many of the projects it designs, through its related general contracting firm, In House Group, Inc. This follows a relatively new trend in which architects become involved in the development of the projects that they have designed.[5]
