2009 - Eric Heidel is only a bowler once a year, but he made a fantastic co-chair for our Bowling Ball Committee, along with Greg Hart. A registered architect, Eric graduated from Drexel University in 2002 with a Bachelor of Architecture, Cum Laude. Now, he spends most of his spare time with his band Bleed Radio Bleed (he’s the guitarist), recording their first album.
Eric first got to know the Collaborative by participating in the Bowling Ball and went on to volunteer on the redesign of two college access centers run by the Philadelphia Education Fund. For him, the value of community design is in the fact that connecting neglected communities with design can help people “appreciate neighborhood features and provide an incentive to fix up neighborhood treasures.”
Eric was born and raised in Pennsylvania, and he recently started work at the firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson.
