| Architect, born in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. He studied at Harvard and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris. At first designing fashionable arts and crafts-inspired houses with Mellor and Meigs, Philadelphia, in 1928 he re-evaluated his work, and in partnership with William Lescaze (1929–34) introduced the International Style to America in such buildings as the Philadelphia Savings Fund Society Building (1929–32), Philadelphia. He further promoted Modernism by sponsoring the journals T-Square and Shelter. |
