He received a Bachelor of Science degree from Arizona State University and a Master of Architecture from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. While a student, he spent the summers interning at Frank O. Gehry & Associates, and after graduation, returned to LA to work there for three months. In 1997, he founded Belzberg Architects.[2]

Belzberg was honored by the California Council of American Institute of Architects as an Emerging Talent in 2008. Subsequently in 2010, he was elected to the college of Fellow of the American Institute of Architects for "notable contributions to the advancement of the profession of architecture.”[3]

He was a two-term director of the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Institute of Architects from 2000 to 2002, and in 2014, was inducted to Interior Design’s Hall of Fame.[4]

Since 1994, Belzberg has held undergraduate- and graduate-level teaching and lecture positions at UCLA, University of Southern California (USC), and the Southern California Institute of Architecture.[5]

His firm’s work has been published in over 200 publications in more than 35 countries[6] and has been the recipient of several awards.[7]
