Managing principal Bernhard Karpf quits Richard Meier’s firm

Bernhard Karpf has left Richard Meier & Partners Architects after less than a year of assuming the position of managing principal, according to The Real Deal.

Karpf, who had joined the company in 1988, took the role in October last year after a New York Times article reported several accusations of sexual harassment and assault against architect Richard Meier, founder of the firm. Karpf apparently left the company in July.

“We thank Bernhard Karpf for his many years of dedicated service and his wide-ranging work that was part of what made Richard Meier & Partners (RMP) the world-renown design firm that it is today,” Meier said in an e-mailed statement to The Real Deal.
