Davis Architects has been an instrumental part of 113 years of Alabama architecture, and their next chapter is another to be celebrated. The talented Courtney Pittman, AIA, has just been named president of the historic firm. For Pittman, this honor is deeply personal.
She pulls from an early memory to illustrate the impact: “At my high school career day, there was a gentleman who spoke for architecture. He looked at the women in the room and said, ‘Ladies, you need to be in the interior design meeting. Architecture is a man’s profession.’ That stuck with me. Now, some years later, I’m leading the oldest architecture firm in Alabama. That is very humbling.”
