Harvey Joe Ferrero (January 24, 1934 – November 7, 2025) was an American architect, architectural illustration expert, the founder of Ferrero Architects, and an adjunct professor of Lawrence Technical University.

Early life and education Harvey Joe Ferrero was born in Detroit, Michigan, on January 24, 1934, to Italian immigrants. His father was a factory worker who worked on battleship guns during World War 2. He was then going to work with Alden B. Dow, an architect in Midland, Michigan, but Ferrero was drafted in 1956 before he could take the position.

Major buildings 1976: Peterson House Jassendorf Residence Beattie Residence 1984: Max Klein Office Building, Southfield, Michigan The design process for this project was decently strenuous since the client had very loose expectations for the project. On the client's suggestion, Ferrero had the studio he was teaching that semester compete in designing the office building with a $500 prize. This exercise helped Ferrero gain a clearer understanding of what Max Klein desired in the completed office building. In addition, this project earned an AIA Detroit award that year.

Death Ferrero died on November 7, 2025, at the age of 91.
