Text of the "Timeline" (removed from the main article after some cleanup)

• 1947 - started at Case Western Reserve University's Adelbert College in premed. thought of becoming a psychiatrist.
• struggled with school, took a range of different kinds of courses
• somewhere in his first 3 years took a course in the history of modern architecture, it was easy and interesting for him
• on a break in Akron, he observed a new Frank Lloyd Wright house
• decided to switch to architecture. family was not very supportive of this.
• Case Western Reserve University had an architecture program, but it was classically oriented, and that did not interest him
• Went to Yale (more modern-oriented). “I think going to school in the shadow of the Cleveland Museum of Art and Severance Hall, and hanging out around [Western Reserve’s] Haydn Hall and on the great, generous veranda of Guilford House was important. It was that kind of fusion of country and city, nature and architecture that had an effect on me, and still does to this day.”
• Married Ellyn Margolis in 1952.
• Graduated from Yale in 1955 with a master's in architecture
• After yale, worked for I.M. Pei
• Began his firm in 1963
• 1972, FAIA
• 1972-87, dean of the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at Columbia University
• 1973, Western Reserve University granted him his bachelor of science degree, in light of his deanship at Columbia, and forgiving the 8 credits that he was short.
• 1986, medal of honor of the AIA
• Raised two children with wife Ellyn: Peter and Jenny.
• 1992, firm received the Architecture Firm Award from AIA
