Charles Gwathmey was born in 1938 in Charlotte, North Carolina, he died in 2009. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania and Yale School of Architecture. He was one of the New York Five, as was Michael Graves you’ll remember. Amusing fact he designed a beach house for his parents in 1965 before being licenced. The house design was part of a question during his licensing exam! Gwathmey was a a modernist to the end. The New York Times featured a great article on him when he died.
