Gordon Bunshaft |
Architect (1909-1990). Born in Buffalo. Graduate of Lafayette High School. An innovative designer of public buildings, Bunshaft was among the first architects to use an apparently continuous wall glass in commercial structures and to set aside space for an adjacent plaza. His designs included the Albright Knox Art Gallery on Elmwood Avenue. Bunshaft was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1988 for his Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C.
