Who is Bernard Cywinski?
Bernard J. Cywinski FAIA was a prominent American architect and teacher, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His works include the Liberty Bell Center at Independence National Historical Park and the G. Wayne Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He was a founding partner and principal of the architectural firm, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, one of Philadelphia's highest-profile firms.

In 1979, he merged his architectural firm with that of Peter Bohlin, who was based in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The merged company would be called Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Cywinski and Bohlin had a mutual interest in sketching, though Cywinski used a mechanical pencil while Bohlin used a traditional pencil.
