Sean Khorsandi
Executive Director
E:  seankhorsandi@landmarkwest.org

Sean joined LW! in 2015 and became Executive Director in August 2017, after a decade of applying his Bachelor’s (Cooper Union) and Master’s (Yale University) of Architecture degrees in NYC design firms.  He brings his knowledge of Building Code, Zoning and Materials to the field for each LW! scrimmage.  If not at a City Agency hearing, he can be found searching the Upper West Side for the perfect bagel, or teaching architecture history and theory.  Sean volunteers on the board of The Paul Rudolph Foundation, DOCOMOMO NY/Tri-State, and is an advisory board member of the Historic Districts Council.

Sean’s favorite neighborhood landmark building is Clarence True’s Flemish Revival Oyster Market at 426 Columbus Avenue – now a Patagonia location.
