Features: Paul Rudolph's design works have had a profound influence on architectural styles in the second half of the 20th century, but their underlying and even more profound impact has just been discovered. A new generation of students and architectural historians draws inspiration from his designs, rediscovering the meanings embedded in them, while a quiet reassessment of Paul Rudolph's academic contributions is also underway. Mr. Rudolph's academic legacy and his additional contributions to the field of sketching represent his entire career in architecture. During the construction of the State Library and the National Library, Mr. Rudolph was involved in every specific aspect of the design and construction; additionally, Mr. Rudolph actively supported the establishment of the architectural center. These facts can be used to evaluate Mr. Rudolph's contributions, and with an understanding of his work, one can gain a deeper appreciation of his designs and his outstanding contributions to the field of design. This book catalogs Mr. Rudolph's early residential works, featuring over 60 designs from 1941 to 1962, clearly conveying the lightness and materiality of his early works.
