SCI-ARC
PAUL MARVIN RUDOLPH, FAIA (1918-1997)
Rudolph grew up in Elkton KY. His father was a minister and he learned early to pay the piano. He earned his
Bachelors degree in Architecture at Auburn University (then known as Alabama Polytechnic Institute) in 1940.
After working with E. B. Van Koeren in Birmingham and Ralph Twitchell in Sarasota, he went to the Harvard
Graduate School of Design in 1941 to study with Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius. In 1942, he began Naval
officer training at MIT and Princeton. After the Navy in 1946, he returned to Harvard to receive his Masters in
1947, still working for Twitchell remotely. Winning a Wheelwright Scholarship, he travelled through Europe from
summer 1948 to summer 1949. After Europe, Ralph Twitchell offered a full partnership and he moved to
Sarasota FL. They worked together until Rudolph went on his own in 1951.
Rudolph became a leader of the "Sarasota School," a style of architecture founded by Twitchell and associated
with Sarasota architects including Ralph Zimmerman, William Zimmerman, Philip Hiss, Jack West, Gene Leedy,
Mark Hampton, Phil Hall, Roland Sellew, Tim Seibert, Victor Lundy, Bill Rupp, John and Ken Warriner, Tolyn
Twitchell, Bert Brosmith, Frank Folsom Smith, Boyd Blackner, Louis Schneider, James Holiday, Joseph Farrell,
and Carl Abbott. With a focus on making architecture be in harmony with its surroundings, Sarasota architecture
featured a clean, open contemporary floor plan, filled with light and terrazzo floors, wide overhangs, and flat
roofs.
As with most Modernist architects, it was difficult to find competent contractors. Ralph Twitchell's nephew Jack
Twitchell built many of their houses.
Rudolph moved to the Yale School of Architecture as Dean in 1958, shortly after designing the Yale Art and
Architecture Building, a structure considered his masterpiece, below. He stayed at Yale for six years until moving
to New York in 1966. He inspired a generation of architects. The public, however, did not warm to his larger
brutalist designs, finding the heavy use of concrete and steel quite ugly.
In 1997, Rudolph passed away in New York City.
According to his obituary in The New York Times,
With the exception of Louis I. Kahn, no American
architect of his generation enjoyed higher esteem in
the 1960s. But after 1970, his reputation
plummeted. Many of his buildings are being torn
down, or are in danger of being torn down. Mr.
Rudolph leaves behind a perplexing legacy that will
take many years to untangle."
At the time of his death he was working on plans for
a new town of 250,000 people in Indonesia and a
private residence, chapel, and office complex in
Singapore.
In the Triangle, he designed the 1972 Burroughs
Wellcome Headquarters shown below along with
several additions in 1976, 1978, and 1982. The
entire site was sold to United Therapeutics in 2012.

1948 - The Lamolithic/Lambie Development, 5528, 5540, 5544, 5546 Avenida Del Mare, four concrete houses in Sarasota FL. These photos
are from 5540. Designed with Ralph Twitchell. Years later, Rudolph would design fourteen economical houses developed for James Stroud
and Jessie Boyd was based on a variation of the Lamolithic site plan. Rudolph attempted to create a variety of unit types that were
differentiated by subtle spatial manipulation rather than arbitrary pictorial devices such as interior sheathing options or varied roof pitches.
They were never built.

Twitchell. Commissioned 1948. An experiment in structure and technology, using steel straps spanning between side walls to hold up the
roof and to create its curved catenary shape. The roof structure is an original technological assembly: the steel straps are fastened to
flexible insulation boards, and the roofing material, Cocoon, is sprayed on. This flexible vinyl compound was developed by the U.S. military
andused to encase ship components to protect them from the weather. About 1955, it needed to be reroofed and a young Crutcher Ross
was on that roofing crew. Sold to Jim LaClair. B/W photos by Ezra Stoller/Esto.

In 1956 Detroit realtor Jason Honigman conceived a project called The Home Research Foundation to showcase new modernist houses on
80 acres outside Grand Rapids, MI. The press referred to it as "an outdoor museum for houses," "the world's most wondrous village," and,
eventually, "the lost theme park." The project was extensively promoted in major design magazines such as Architectural Record, Arts and
Architecture, and Interiors. The first set of 12 homes was to be designed and started in 1956, followed by 13 in 1957, and 25 more over a
span of 3 years, ending in 1960. The Home Research Foundation closed its offices in May 1957 due to funding issues. The Homestyle
Center was never built but the original lake around which the houses were to be built is now part of the 132 acre Fredrick Meijer Gardens
and Sculpture Park, which was planned in 1982 and opened in 1995.
