Famed architect’s work gets reprieve
From Times Wire Reports
A state judge has spared a Westport home, designed by renowned architect Paul Rudolph, from demolition -- for now.
The 4,200-square-foot stucco house, designed by Rudolph in 1972, is an elongated series of interconnecting cubes with cantilevered panels that hang above large windows.
Rudolph, who died in 1997, was dean of the Yale School of Architecture in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation is fighting plans by the prospective owners of the home, who want to tear it down and rebuild. Another hearing is set for Jan. 2
