He received a B.A. in drama from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1953 and B.Arch. from North Carolina State College in 1959. He began his architecture practice in 1962, and in 1967 formed a partnership with Werner Hausler.

In 1974 he was named a Fellow of the America Institute of Architects, and at the time he was the youngest architect to have received that honor. Cogswell died on September 29, 2010.
