A Chicago native and Yale alumnus, Stanley Tigerman ('60 B.Arch, '61 M.Arch) has designed numerous buildings and museum installations throughout North America, Western Europe, and Asia, as well as a range of furniture, household items, and jewelry. His work, including that of his firm, Tigerman McCurry Architects, has received widespread critical acclaim and numerous awards, including seven AIA Honor Awards and more than 120 national and local awards for architecture and design. Tigerman has additionally been a visiting professor and advisory-committee member at several schools of architecture, including Yale and Harvard, and was for eight years director of the School of Architecture at the University of Illinois at Chicago. In 1994, he and Eva Maddox co-founded ARCHEWORKS, a school and "socially oriented design laboratory" in Chicago.
The exhibition marks the 2012 transfer of Stanley Tigerman's drawing archive to Yale University's Manuscripts and Archives depository.
