Distinguished architect and board member at Mackenzie passes away

Krause

Pacific Northwest architecture and engineering design firm Mackenzie has recently announced the sudden passing of Terry Krause, a senior leader, board member, and esteemed architect with the firm. This unfortunate event occurred on July 27, leaving the company and the architectural community in mourning.

In an obituary shared by Mackenzie, they describe Krause as an exceptional architect and a highly respected leader who has left a profound impact on the architectural community. His contributions have influenced and touched the lives of countless professionals in the industry.

Mackenzie, headquartered in Portland, Oregon, operates from two additional offices located in Seattle and Vancouver, Washington. Krause, who was based in Portland, played a significant role in the firm’s operations.

Not only was Krause a principal architect at Mackenzie, but he also continued a family legacy established by his father, who was also a distinguished architect in Portland. With an extensive industry experience of over 20 years, Krause had the opportunity to work for prominent clients such as Fred Meyer, Safeway, Nike, and QFC. His leadership was instrumental in growing Mackenzie’s retail architecture practice and shaping the direction of the firm.

The impact of Krause’s work extended beyond the designs he created. He was a compassionate mentor and a guiding force, empowering aspiring architects and engineers to achieve new heights. His dedication to excellence and his ability to seamlessly blend aesthetics with functionality set him apart.

Krause’s involvement in the architectural community was evident through his advocacy for architecture education and licensing. He believed in nurturing talent and fostering a work culture that celebrates the success of others rather than seeking personal credit. This philosophy created a lasting impact not just within Mackenzie but across the entire architectural community.

One of Krause’s notable contributions was his active engagement with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Portland chapter committee for the Intern Development Program (IDP). Through his mentorship within the program, many emerging architects were able to pass their professional board exams and have since assumed leadership roles at Mackenzie and other architecture firms in the Pacific Northwest. Furthermore, Krause dedicated his time as a volunteer for the executive leadership team of AIA Portland, serving in various roles including president and secretary.

Mackenzie acknowledges that Krause’s absence will be deeply felt, not only within their firm but throughout the entire architectural community. They offer their condolences and support to Krause’s wife and family during this challenging time. The firm pledges to honor his vision and uphold the legacy he left behind.

A celebration of life for Terry Krause has been scheduled for Tuesday, September 12, at 1 p.m. The event will be held at the Ecotrust Building, located at 721 N.W Ninth Ave., Portland, OR 97209.

This story is an amended version of an obituary sent to the DJC from Mackenzie.
