1784. Group 1 Building, SMTI / University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, North Dartmouth, MA














Dear Peter,

"An architect is a man concerned with building meaningfully. As opposed to someone who is interested 
in building efficiently, or sometimes even beautifully, or as opposed to the whole engineering aspects of building, as opposed to adorning buildings, as opposed to all the ramifications that consultants get into. We often 
apologize for being interested in meaningful buildings, and tend to talk the language of the master builder, or the engineer, or the efficiency expert, or 25 other experts. But we do our profession an injustice in that way." (Paul Rudolph)

Best,

Dear Norman,

"Paul Rudolph believed that people
perceived the lower floors of a high-rise
building in a different manner: the upper
levels can be scaleless, but that at street
level should possess a human scale to
relate it to the urban context in which it
is located" (Tony Monk)

Dear Steve,

I hope you enjoy the emotional, yet intellectual nature of
Paul Rudolph's designs. A wonderful architect who also
thought outside the box.

Thank you for everything you have done for us.

Dear Benedetta,

"Architecture is used space formed for psychological and
symbolical reasons. Architecture space overrides all its
integrating elements and concepts by consciously forming
enclosed voids to accommodate human beings in the
totality of their psychic and physical life and in their various
pursuits and intentions"
(Paul Rudolph-"Enigmas of Architecture")

I hope you are doing well.
All the best.

Dear Tony,

"What the architect has to offer in the final analysis has
not changed through the centuries. Only the means
change, not the end" (Paul Rudolph)
