The Early Years<br />
Before I went to high school I was interested in making things with my hands, making models. I had a workshop<br />
in my basement. It was a preoccupation of mine.<br />
Iowa State, Ames Iowa<br />

I learned about the Institute of Design from a local high school teacher. I didn't know that there was even a<br />
profession of design. I had never heard of the Bauhaus. I was completely uninformed.<br />
Institute of Design, Chicago Illinois 1946-1950<br />
“The New Bauhaus”<br />
Founded by Moholy-Nagy<br />
The teaching was based on the foundation course methodology. The emphasis was on teaching creativity.<br />
The school was an old stone building in Chicago on North Dearborn Street, very dark and heavy, renaissance<br />
looking. You opened the door and inside they had painted everything white and primary colors. I was absolutely<br />
shocked. I had never been in an environment like that before.<br />
I began by studying architecture, photography, product design and graphic design.<br />
I felt born again. I was completely involved in it from the very beginning.<br />
There was no course in furniture design. You were trained to design anything, to apply this thinking that was so<br />
strongly presented as a way of life.<br />
