Explore Paul Rudolph\u2019s Enduring Legacy At The Met<\/h1>\n\n\n

His Harvard GSD classmates included I.M. Pei. He taught Norman Foster at Yale University. And, with a portfolio encompassing residential and commercial projects stateside and abroad, his clients ranged from Halston to Tuskegee University to the Niagara Falls Public Library. This history and more are explored in \u201cMaterialized Space: The Architecture of Paul Rudolph,\u201d at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the institution\u2019s first such exhibition since its 1972 Marcel Breuer survey, and particularly meaningful, as Rudolph\u2019s 1952 Sanderling Beach Club in Sarasota, Florida, was destroyed by Hurrican Helene four days before the exhibit\u2019s opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It features over 80 works in various scales, from small objects that Kentucky-born Rudolph collected throughout his life to work-related models, furniture, material samples, and colored pencils used for his \u201cintricate, visionary drawings,\u201d curator Abraham Thomas notes. Photographs are included too, spanning the architect\u2019s 1950\u2019s Sarasota Modern houses to his later, brutalist works, such as Yale\u2019s Art and Architecture Building (now Rudolph Hall) and Temple Street Parking Garage, both in Connecticut and completed while he chaired the school\u2019s architecture department. Of the latter, famous for its organic, poured-in-place concrete form, its sodium lights recently replaced with LEDs, he said: \u201cI wanted to make a building which said it dealt with cars and movement. I wanted there to be no doubt that this is a parking garage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
