Having started with the 8th member of the Chicago Seven, David Chipperfield, a couple of weeks ago, I thought we should go back to number 1 – Stanley Tigerman.
Stanley Tigerman (1930-2019) was an American architect, theorist, and designer. He studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology – but did not pass. After several career changes and apprenticeships, he was accepted at the Yale School of Architecture and obtained a Masters degree. In 1961 he established Stanley Tigerman and Associates Ltd. In 1976 he became one of the members of the Chicago Seven. A group that, as I mentioned previously, was opposed to the modernist movement popular with the followers of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. He was the unofficial chief of the Chicago architects. Tigerman is credited with 450 design projects and 175 built works.
