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 1980's it has included academic buildings, student housing,
office developments, civic facilities, adaptive re-use, and large-scale
urban planning.
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.
Friedman has taught at the 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.
