My Personal Encounters with the Work of Jewish Architects

Class Instructor: Aaron Rand

Dates: February 28, 2022

Time: 1:00 – 2:30 PM

Course Description:

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.
