The memory of late architect Charles Gwathmey, who passed away 3 August this year, is being honored with a new eponymous professorship at the Yale School of Architecture faciliated by the generosity of American designer Ralph Lauren.<\/p>\n
Lauren and his wife, Ricky, shared a close friendship with Gwathmey, whose vast design r\u00c3\u00a9sum\u00c3\u00a9 includes the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, the Yale Arts Complex, and various housing and urban design projects — all executed in his iconic “High Modernist” style.<\/p>\n
The Charles Gwathmey professorship serves not only as a living tribute to the architect, but also as a means of fostering growth into the design community and encouraging the flow of fresh, new ideas: something which will never go out of style.<\/p>\n
