A member of The New York Five and the Memphis Group — and professor of architecture at Princeton University for nearly forty years, Michael Graves was a noted American architect and designer of consumer products.
Graves’ global portfolio of architectural work ranged from the Ministry of Culture in The Hague, a post office for Celebration, Florida, a prominent expansion of the Denver Public Library to numerous commissions for Disney — as well as the scaffolding design for the 2000 Washington Monument restoration. He was recognized as a major influence on architectural movements including New Urbanism, New Classical Architecture, and particularly Postmodernism — the latter including the noted Portland Building in Oregon and the Humana Building in Kentucky.
