Pratt Institute - Prattonia Yearbook (Brooklyn, NY)

Right from Pratt | went to Harvard and got my master’s degree in one year, then went to work for Edward, Laraby, Barnes in the city for six or seven years. With Charles Gwathmey, my friend from high school, who was also an architect, there came an opportunity to break off and form a partnership. We were lucky that our first commissions were great ones— State University campus at Purchase and buildings at Princeton. Since then we've done urban develop- ments in many cities, like the New York City Housing Authority. We've done corporate architecture for IBM, AT T, and Hyatt International. Also we have done private residences for people like Philip Johnson and Steven Spielberg. We run the Pratt Internship Program and we get young people who come in on one level and return to school completely recycled. They do better work and are demanding of their professors and their peers. It is uplifting for the school. As for graduating students of archi- tecture, | think that their first job ex- perience is most important. Maybe even more important than their education, How has Pratt affected me? Well it was the place to be in the late ’50s and early ‘60s and | believe it still is today. It’s a great environment, it exposes you to all fields of the arts and it instills a sense of commitment and determination in everything. Robert Siegel Architect Robert Siegel graduated from the School of Architecture in 1962 with a bachelor’s degree and then from Har- vard in 1963 with a master’s degree. His first job was for Edward, Laraby, Barnes, Incorporated in New York City. He worked there for six years. He is now partners in one of the most successful architectural practices in the world, Gwathmey, Siegel and Associates.
