Harvard Five

The Harvard Five refers to a group of five influential architects—Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, Philip Johnson, John Johansen, and Gordon Bunshaft—who studied or worked at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design in the mid-20th century. They played a key role in introducing modernist architecture to the United States, emphasizing simplicity, function, and the use of new materials like steel and glass. Their designs often feature clean lines, open spaces, and innovative use of technology, shaping the development of contemporary architecture in America.
