Biography
Charles W. Moore earned a degree in architecture in 1947 from
the University of Michigan. Early in his career he taught at the
University of Utah and worked briefly in the San Francisco Bay
area. He served two years in the U.S. Army during the Korean War,
working in the Army Corps of Engineers. On his return, he studied
for a master’s degree in fine arts and earned a PhD in
architectural history in 1957, both at Princeton. He taught at
Princeton for several years, while also working as an assistant to
Louis Kahn. Throughout his career, Moore established practices near
the universiities at which he taught.
In 1959 Moore went to the University of California, Berkeley, at
the request of William Wurster; he taught architecture there and
also worked as the department chair until 1965. In 1962, while at
Berkeley, he formed MLTW in Berkeley with Donlyn Lyndon, William
Turnbull, and Richard Whitaker; this group remained together until
1970.
In 1965 Moore moved to Yale University to teach architecture and
head its department; later he became dean. While at Yale, he
established the Centerbrook firm in Connecticut. He later moved to
UCLA and founded the firm Moore, Ruble, Yudell, as well as the
Urban Innovations Group, a not-for-profit professional practice arm
of the UCLA Graduate School of Architecture and Urban
Planning.
Moore finally moved to the University of Texas at Austin, leading
the graduate program and holding the O’Neil Ford Centennial
Chair. In all, Charles Moore completed 180 commissions, taught
at five universities, and served as the principal architect in
firms in California, Connecticut, and Texas. He was also a prolific
writer, publishing both books and articles that have had
significant influence on the profession.
In 1989 Moore was awarded the AIA/ACSA Topaz Medallion for
Excellence in Architectural Education, awarded jointly by the AIA
and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture. This
award honors an individual who has made outstanding contributions
to architecture education for at least 10 years and whose teaching
has influenced a broad range of students.
While at Yale, Moore’s approach moved from architectural
formalism to consideration of architecture’s nature and
function. He believed that architecture should encourage a holistic
experience for a building’s residents and users, involving all
their senses and reflecting the site’s environment and
history, as well as activating their imaginations as they moved
throughout the space.
