Born October 23, 1918, Paul Marvin Rudolph spent his
pre-professional years attending Harvard Graduate School of
Design while working periodically for Ralph Twitchell's office
in Sarasota. During the Second World War, Rudolph served in the
U.S. Naval Reserve. After attaining his Master of Architecture
degree from Harvard, Rudolph formed an association with
Twitchell in Sarasota, together designing the Miller House and
Guest House, the innovative Revere Quality House, and the Cocoon
House. They became full partners after Rudolph received his
architectural registration. After this partnership was
dissolved, Rudolph formed his own office in Sarasota, designing
the Umbrella House, the Cohen House, the Riverview High School,
and the Sarasota High School Addition. Fine examples of
Rudolph's later, geometrically complex work can be found as far
away as Singapore, Hong Kong, and Indonesia.
Rudolph
was the recipient of such awards as the Outstanding Young
Architect Award and the American Institute of Architects Medal
of Honor. He was made chairman of the Department of Architecture
at Yale University, a fellow of the American Institute of
Architects, and was awarded a fellowship with the American
Society of Interior Designers. In 1966 he established an office
in New York City.
Rudolph died in New York City on August 8, 1997.
