Gordon Bunschaft and SOM
Author and Architectural Historian Nicholas Adams

Nicholas Adams, professor emeritus of architectural history at Vassar College,
will speak about the life, career, and works of Gordon Bunshaft, a partner at Skidmore,
Owings & Merrill (SOM) for 40 years.
His 1952 design for Lever House reshaped the Manhattan skyline.
Known for the glass and steel structures of the 1950s, he later turned to concrete
for the Beinecke Rare Book Library at Yale and the
Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC. Bunshaft received the Pritzker Prize in 1988.
