The L sellim archit work The grap PANE read hom a pul

The compilation of the work documented in this book coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of my work as an architect. Being an architect had always been a lifelong dream. Little did I know when asked at the age of fourteen "What do you want to do when you grow up?" and answering I wanted to be an architect, that after fifty years I would still be learning what all that means. Working together with a group of extremely talented people has been enormously gratifying, and being an architect means being a member of a fantastic team.

I studied architecture at Cornell University, and after working in the offices of Davis Brody, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill; and Marcel Breuer. I started my own practice in my studio apartment in New York City. A year later, in 1967, I received a commission to design the Smith House in Connecticut, a project which marked the beginning of my career. The opportunity to design and build this house clarified my ideas about the making of space, and the house attracted a certain amount of attention that made it possible to take on additional projects. After winning the competition for Frankfurt's Museum of Applied Art in 1979, we were asked to design a number of new projects in Europe and the United States.

Over the years there have been so many things that have been important to my work as an architect. We look at each project and consider the context-what it is and what it can be-beyond the strictly functional concerns. We think about its public nature and how that can be enhanced, how the spaces we create can enliven the experience of being there. As we develop our first projects in eleven countries, including England, China, Israel, Turkey, Mexico, Brazil, and South Korea, one of the biggest challenges we have faced working in so many different places is understanding variations, both in terms of culture and context.
