This biography from the Archives of AskART:
Known for monumental public sculpture and for philosophical exploration of the relationship between sculpture, architecture and human beings,
he was trained at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in physics and architecture, and then transferred after four years to Yale University where he has spent most of his professional life.

His teacher and mentor at Yale was Erwin Hauer, a German Expressionist from whom he learned figurative sculpture. He works in both stone and metal and is inspired by works of Brancusi and the Constructivists, especially Naum Gabo and Antoine Pevsner. His early works were freestanding sculptures with undulating ribbons of brass in organic forms.

In the 1970s, he began to study the role of the human body in architecture and co-authored a book with Charles Moore titled "Body, Memory, and Architecture."

In Chicago in the late 1990s, he created a large piece for the Harold Washington Library, dedicated to the memory of Chicago's first black mayor. The sculpture is 34 feet high and 70 feet long.
