Stanley Tigerman papers and records, 1960-2009

Abstract Or Scope

The archive consists of original drawings, prints, photographs, and other materials from the architect Stanley Tigerman, including both student and professional work. In addition to Tigerman's Bachelor's and Master's theses produced at Yale University in the early 1960s, a wide range of projects undertaken during Tigerman's varied career as a designer are represented in the collection, from built works—such as the Five Polytechnic Institutes in Bangladesh (1966-1975), the Commonwealth Edison Energy Museum (Zion, Illinois; 1987-1990), and the Holocaust Memorial Foundation (Skokie, Illinois; 2000-2009)—to houseware product designs for such manufacturers as Swid Powell and Cannon Fieldcrest, to exhibition plans for the Art Institute of Chicago, the Venice Biennale, and other venues. Also included is documentation of Tigerman's many unbuilt and conceptual works, such as the Urban Matrix (1967-1968), Kingdom of Atlantis (1976-1982), and several "Architoons"—satirical architectural drawings created by Tigerman in the 1980s.
