With a portfolio spanning design and planning for airport, hotel, office, and corporate headquarters projects, he brings multifaceted experience to the role.

Zapata’s appointment underscores Corgan’s dedication to advancing high design and sustainable architecture. He states, “We are at a pivotal moment of accelerated change—fueled by AI, big data, and the evolution of how people work, interact, and socialize. This shift challenges us to rethink not only buildings but also the very spaces where people connect. At Corgan, we embrace this transformation with curiosity by piloting innovative ideas, empowering our designers, and investing in future leaders while serving as a steady hand to guide our clients.”
A key focus of the Director of Design role will be nurturing and developing the next generation of architects and designers.

The role is a platform for design evolution and fostering future leaders.
A registered architect and LEED AP, Zapata has served on the board of the Dallas Architecture Forum since 2012 and has been president of the board and chair of the Dallas Design Symposium. He earned a bachelor’s degree in environmental design from Texas A&M University.
