Paul Rudolph

Paul Rudolph was an influential American architect known for his distinctive brutalist style, characterized by raw concrete and bold geometric forms. He was born in 1918 and became prominent in the mid-20th century. One of his most famous works is the Sarasota School of Architecture in Florida, where he integrated buildings with their natural surroundings. Rudolph also designed the Boston Government Service Center and served as the chair of the architecture department at Yale University. His work is celebrated for its texture and complexity, though it has sparked debate over aesthetics and functionality in urban settings.
