Synopsis
In 1951, Rodney Friedman entered the School of Architecture at the University of California at Berkeley, where he studied under such noted architects as Erich Mendelsohn, William Wurster, Joseph Esherick, Paul Rudolph, and Charles Eames. Since the inception of Fisher Friedman Associates, the firm has been widely recognized as a national leader in residential design. Such recognition, comprising more than 250 awards for design and planning, and inclusion in numerous books and publications, attests to the firm's success in finding imaginative solutions to the problems of each individual project. During the 1960's and 1970's, the work of the firm was almost completely residential in scope, but since the early 80's it has included academic buildings, student housing, office developments, civic facilities, adaptive re-use, and large-scale urban planning.

From the Inside Flap
Residential design has to be affordable and smart, but it can also be sensuous, appealing, and timely. With color photographs and illustrations throughout, Fisher Friedman Associates 1964-2010 explores one of the Bay Area's leading architectural firms, from its beginnings in residential architecture through its expansion into academic buildings, student housing, office developments, civic facilities, and large-scale urban planning. In the process, it profiles the nearly 50-year career of Rodney Friedman, who continues to produce a vigorous body of work at age 75.
About the Author
In his forty-six years as the "Friedman" of FFA, and the sole practicing architect of the founding group, Rodney Friedman, at age 75, continues to produce a vigorous and influential body of design work. Mr. Friedman has taught at University of California at Berkeley, Yale, Harvard, and MIT, among other institutions, and his work has been included in exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the SF MOMA, as well as the 1989 traveling exhibition of Soviet and American Architecture.
