Peter Dominick, Jr., president and chairman of 4240 Architecture in Denver and Chicago, died on New Year's Day from a heart attack at the age of 67. Over a 40-year-long career, Dominick founded two design firms and became design director and principal in another with which he merged his office. "His verve and impeccable connections gave him traction internationally with real estate developers, locally with politicians in his home city, and broadly in the design community," says business partner E. Randal Johnson.
Dominick's numerous projects include the Wilderness and Animal Kingdom Lodges in Orlando, among six built commissions for the Walt Disney organization. He was also principal in charge of the revitalization of Vail, Colorado; the great Platte River Road Monument in Kearney, Nebraska, a museum that is also a unique bridge across a highway; the new Town Center on the site of the old Stapleton Airport; and the transformation of the section of lower Denver called the Central Platte Valley from old rail yards into a thriving neighborhood now known as Riverfront Park.
In addition, Dominick was an active board member of several organizations, notably the Denver Art Museum, the University of Colorado School of Architecture, Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Yale University School of Architecture.
