Where We Live: Stanley Tigerman, Architect and Dreamer

Stanley Tigerman’s name is not one of the first mentioned when thinking of great American architects, but in part that’s because he’s crafted a career as an outsider - not just with his whimsical designs, but with his sharp criticism of his profession. He’s used this quote, which he attributes to his wife: "You're now at the stage where you design bridges to burn."   

 

Tigerman’s work is the subject of a very unusual new exhibit at the Yale School of Architecture.
