Meier, Richard Alan
US architect. His white designs spring from the poetic modernism of the Le Corbusier villas of the 1920s. Originally one of the New York Five, a group of young architects known for their Modernist approach, Meier has remained closest to its purist ideals. His abstract style is at its most mature in the Museum für Kunsthandwerk (Museum of Arts and Crafts), Frankfurt, Germany, which was completed in 1984. He won the Pritzker Prize for Architecture the same year.
During the late 1960s and early 1970s he designed a series of acclaimed private residences. Other work includes the Bronx Developmental Centre, New York, (1970–76), the Athenaeum–New Harmony, Indiana, (1974), and the Getty Museum, Los Angeles, California (1996).
