During the last few years, I have come to realize the importance of Jews in architecture. Many of the most important works of modern architecture have been built for or designed by Jews.
I went to architectural school and became an architect in the 1960’s. The architects I will talk about crossed my path and affected my life in some way. All were visionaries and changed the direction of
architecture.
I don’t have an answer if Jewish architects are different from other architects. The one thing I see is that they were able to reinvent themselves.
