Renovation of Rudolph’s Art & Architecture Building at Yale Paul Rudolph’s Art & Architecture (A&A) building, completed in 1963, is undergoing a significant renovation and addition as part of the $500 million Yale University Arts Campus renovation and expan- sion plan. Built to house the combined School of Art and Architecture, the building is centrally located in the Arts Campus and marks the corner of Chapel and York Streets. The School of Art became independent in 1970 and relocated to its own building in 2000. The renova- tion comes at time when the appreciation for the A&A, and Rudolph’s work as a whole is at an all time high. The improvements to the A&A is the second major renovation of an iconic architectural work on Yale’s campus fol- lowing the renovation of the Yale Art Gallery designed by Louis Kahn, which reopened in December 2006. Despite the differences between the Art & Architecture Buidling, minimalist loft-like gallery and the spatially complex Brutalism of the Yale University, New Haven, CT (photo: Hilary Sample) A&A building, both renovations focus on two critical aspects of the architecture, its performance and surface.

ISSN: 2341-3050. https://doi.org/10.4995/vlc.2019.10967 Resumen: El arquitecto americano Paul Rudolph (1918-1997) concede al dibujo un papel central en su proceso creativo, que responde a una concepción altamente emocional de la arquitectura. Durante su formación y sus primeros años de trabajo, adquiere un tipo de representación que le permite transmitir una visión personal del proyecto. Su constante inquietud por la superación del estilo internacional, parte de seis factores determinantes: emplazamiento, condiciones naturales, materiales, función, psicología del espacio y espíritu de la época, que le guían en la búsqueda de respuestas y marcan su obra hasta finales de los años sesenta, cuando alcanza su madurez creativa. Tomando el dibujo como eje de la investigación, se analiza cómo intervienen estos factores en sus proyectos residenciales en Florida, cuya tectónica concibe desde la unidad espacial; en sus proyectos de vivienda colectiva, cuya componente social orienta en agrupaciones modulares urbanas; y en sus proyectos de escala monumental, cuya materialidad imagina y define con precisión. En todos ellos, las decisiones espaciales y constructivas están tan íntimamente relacionadas con su método de representación, que establecen un paralelismo constante entre dibujar y construir.

    140 studies in History & Theory of Architecture Re-viewing and Reimagining Paul Rudolph’s Brutalist Architecture in the USA and Southeast Asia Anna Dempsey, Ben Youtz and Kelly Haigh University of Massachusetts Dartmouth | designLAB architects [email protected] | [email protected], [email protected] KEYWORDS: modern architecture, Paul Rudolph, Brutalism, campus architecture, place-making, concrete Introduction Theodore Dalrymple famously described late modern expressionist (Brutalist) buildings as “totalitarian,” “cold hearted moral deformit[ies]” that should be demolished.1 Even during the 1950s and 1960s, arguably the style’s halcyon days, British critic Reyner Banham noted that critics of the “new Brutalism” regarded “the movement” as “a cult of ugliness.”2 Though Banham concluded that Brutalism represented “a contribution to the architecture of today,” he stated that the buildings of Alison and Peter Smithson - who coined the term “new Brutalism” - exhibited both “ineloquence” and “bloody-mindedness.”3 Despite Banham’s and other critics’ reservations, this post-War modernist movement was a global one. Architects such as Germany’s Werner Düttmann (the Agnes Kirche in Berlin, 1964), Australia’s Peter Hall (the Residential Colleges at the University of New South Wales, 1962-1966), Argentina’s Clorindo Testa (Banco de Londres in Buenos Aires, 1966) were among those who embraced what Banham referred to as the “ruthless logic” of Brutalism’s functional style.4 In the United States, Louis Kahn, I.M Pei and several other architects also designed and built Brutalist structures. Nevertheless, Paul Rudolph (a student of Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius) is the American architect most closely associated with Dalrymple’s “cold-hearted” style.

Interviewed by Bruce Barnes. Recorded in Boston Massachusetts June 28, 2006. Transcript of a video recorded interview with architect William Grindereng, in which he recounts the portion of his career (1955-1972) he was associated with architect Paul Rudolph. Among the many major projects discussed is the Government Service Center in Boston, the Bangladesh (Formerly East Pakistan) Agricultural University and SMTI / University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Also in attendance, Grattan Gill, also a former architectural associate of Rudolph as well as job captain or project manager for SMTI / UMass Dartmouth during the construction of the campus in the 1960s. Transcript Preparation and Additional Research by Joanne Garfield, Technical Services Department, Claire T. Carney Library, UMass Dartmouth Library Bruce Barnes: If you could, give me a brief biography of yourself, how you came to be an architect, and your connections to Paul Rudolph. William Grindereng: I first graduated from Ohio University with a degree in architectural engineering. Following that, I worked four years full-time for architects in South Dakota and Ohio. I decided that I needed to fill in some gaps in my education so I applied to Yale. I went there with advanced standing and graduated after two years with a Master of Architecture degree. While at Yale, I was fortunate to have had Paul Rudolph as a visiting critic. It was actually his first two visits to Yale. The first project that he gave us [1955] was a weekend sketch project was for a Tastee Freez stand which he had done in Sarasota.

Google Scholar. In developing and refining his design priorities to accommodate his large commissions, Rudolph was not pandering to any new fashionable trend or fickle change in style; he was still convinced by his early convictions, but it was the acceptance of these later adjustments in his design philosophy that classified him as a Late-Modernist. There was no established theory expounded, other than a liberal education that encouraged a healthy examination of the relevant current issues. Form, Heft, Material. Daniel Ledford Daniel Ledford.

In spite of his reservations about the limitations of two-dimensional drawings or that any form of presentation can ever convey the ultimate nature of a building, Rudolph still achieved a far greater standard of graphic communication through his presentation techniques than any other modern architect. At the time, Rudolph was working independently and would later become an icon in European Modernism.

SIRMAN Abstract: During the 1960s and early 1970s, New England departed from architectural traditions and was in the vanguard of the most current (and controversial) style of these decades: Brutalism. While on its surface this style seems inimical to New England architecture, a confluence of economic, political, and social forces rendered it aptly suited to the region at this pivotal time. Concrete buildings served not only functional purposes but also as monuments that both reflected and shaped public perceptions of New England.
