David Flores Treviño ’74

Project and Program Management Consultant

David Flores Treviño, FAIA, currently works as a project and program management consultant. His passion for architecture began in seventh grade when a drafting class set him on his career path. Despite financial challenges, he worked through high school and started college at a junior college before earning a bachelor’s in environmental design (1973) and a master’s in architecture (1974) from Texas A&M.

While still a student, Treviño gained experience with established architects, which led to a partnership in a small firm soon after graduation. He later became a partner at HT&T Architects and Tricorp Construction Company, gaining a rare dual perspective in both design and construction. This broad expertise paved the way for his role as Senior Program Manager for the City of Dallas, where he managed city facility projects funded by bond programs and collaborated with leading architects, including AIA Gold Medalist Ricardo Legorreta.

David’s combined experience as a private architect, contractor, and public-sector leader inspired him to mentor the next generation. He has guided many architecture students and continues to serve on nonprofit boards that support his community.

In recognition of his professional leadership and service, he was elevated to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects. He has contributed to numerous award-winning projects and served as a juror for prestigious national AIA honors, including the Thomas Jefferson Award, the Whitney M. Young Jr. Award, and the Edward C. Kemper Award.

David credits much of his success to the dedication of his wife, Christina, who supported him tirelessly during his college years.
