Going off topic with Bunshaft

Gordon Bunshaft was born and raised in Buffalo, NY, graduating from the gorgeous c.1904 Lafayette High School on Buffalo's West Side, before continuing his education at MIT.

After achieving acclaim as an architect he was tasked with the expansion of Buffalo's then Albright art gallery of neoclassical design, with the modern Knox family addition (with the 2023 Gundlach expansion now called Buffalo AKG Art Museum). The controversial "black box" Knox addition officially opened in January 1962.

Bunshaft was clearly influenced by Mies van der Rohe, among others.
