Jerzy
Soltan: In Homage

This
exhibit is in homage to the creative life of Jerzy Soltan, a beloved
architect and teacher who educated generations of students in principles
of modernist design at Harvard University’s Graduate School of
Design (GSD). Soltan, the Nelson Robinson Jr. Professor of Architecture
and Design Emeritus died at his Cambridge home in September at age
92. After working for Le Corbusier in the 1950’s in Paris, Soltan
was an enthusiastic advocate of Corbu’s design philosophy. Soltan
received the Topaz Medallion of Excellence in Architectural Education
in 2002. The jury called Soltan “the epitome of the inspirational
educator, bringing boundless energy and architectural vision to generations
of future practitioners,” many of whom are now prominent professionals
as well as influential educators.
Exhibition
runs February 1-24, 2006.
Open Monday - Friday from 9:00 am - 5:30 pm.
