Summary:

The Joseph Rykwert fonds, 1928-2022, documents Joseph Rykwert's career as an architectural historian, author and professor. The fonds includes the records for over a dozen monographs written between the mid-1960s and the mid-2010s as well as edited works and articles, and details his teaching and lecturing activities from the 1960s onwards in universities in Europe and the United States. The records highlight Joseph Rykwert's multidisciplinary approach, which involved archaeology, anthropology and psychology in his study of the history and theory of architecture and of the urban form. The fonds is composed of textual records, publications and ephemera, and of photographs including multiple albums and a large number of slides; the fonds also documents Joseph Rykwert's career as an independent designer through drawings realized between the late 1940s and the late 1970s.
