Paul Harrison AIA a design-focused integrated architect

Paul Harrison AIA has been actively involved in both design and construction in the Los Angeles County and other parts of the United States since 1978. He is a California licensed architect and a California licensed general building contractor. Paul is also an active member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).

 

One of Paul’s passions is the study of psychophysics—the relationship between what you feel and think when surrounded by and maneuvering through an architectural space. Paul specializes in daylighting design to help create a visually stimulating and productive environment, while reducing as much as one-third of total building energy costs.

Paul's experience is primarily in hillside residential architecture, land entitlement and construction. He has more than 37 years of hands-on and administrative supervision for all phases of development specializing in reverse engineering caused by initial poor design and natural disasters. 

In Paul’s new film, The Mindfulness Movie, he delivers a compelling story about mindfulness and the brain. Knowing the powerful changes individuals can make to become healthier, happier, and more compassionate through mindful living—and the effect this can have on a nation…and the world—he’s excited to spread the message through this film he produced and directed.

 

“This film is wide-ranging in its ability to show the benefits of mindfulness for teens, adults and our returning veterans alike … Through this film viewers are shown practical ways to manage depression, anxiety or simply the stresses we run into day in and day out. This is a moving film that can help teach our nation about the importance of mindfulness.” — Congressman Tim Ryan, 13th District Ohio, Author, The Mindful Nation
