Biography
Born Josep Lluís Sert i López, Joseph Sert’s
interest in architecture began when he was a child, inspired by the
work of Antonio Gaudi. He studied at the Barcelona School of
Architecture and graduated in 1929.
After working with Le Corbusier, Sert opened a practice in
Barcelona. In 1937, he designed the Spanish Pavilion for the
World’s Fair in Paris. In 1939, he moved to the United States
to work at the firm Pal Lest Weiner.
From 1947 to 1956, Sert served as president for the Congrès
Internationaux d’Architecture Moderne (CIAM) in Spain. He
worked at Yale University in 1952 as a visiting professor, and in
1953 he became dean of the Graduate School of Design and professor
of architecture at Harvard University. While he was there, he
founded the Urban Design Program, a formal urban planning course,
and established a Cambridge firm with some friends that eventually
became Sert, Jackson & Gourley, which designed offices,
university buildings, and homes in the 1960s and 1970s.
Among other commissions, Sert designed the Science Center at
Harvard, the Miró Foundation in Barcelona, the Maeght
Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, and the Spanish Pavilion at more
than one World’s Fair. |
