Welcome to the Archives of The Paul Rudolph Institute for Modern Architecture. The purpose of this online collection is to function as a tool for scholars, students, architects, preservationists, journalists and other interested parties. The archive consists of photographs, slides, articles and publications from Rudolph’s lifetime; physical drawings and models; personal photos and memorabilia; and contemporary photographs and articles.

Some of the materials are in the public domain, some are offered under Creative Commons, and some  are owned by others, including the Paul Rudolph Estate. Please speak with a representative of The Paul Rudolph Institute for Modern Architecture before using any drawings or photos in the Archives. In all cases, the researcher shall determine how to appropriately publish or otherwise distribute the materials found in this collection, while maintaining appropriate protection of the applicable intellectual property rights.

In his will, Paul Rudolph gave his Architectural Archives (including drawings, plans, renderings, blueprints, models and other materials prepared in connection with his professional practice of architecture) to the Library of Congress Trust Fund following his death in 1997. A Stipulation of Settlement, signed on June 6, 2001 between the Paul Rudolph Estate and the Library of Congress Trust Fund, resulted in the transfer of those items to the Library of Congress among the Architectural Archives, that the Library of Congress determined suitable for its collections.  The intellectual property rights of items transferred to the Library of Congress are in the public domain. The usage of the Paul M. Rudolph Archive at the Library of Congress and any intellectual property rights are governed by the Library of Congress Rights and Permissions.

However, the Library of Congress has not received the entirety of the Paul Rudolph architectural works, and therefore ownership and intellectual property rights of any materials that were not selected by the Library of Congress may not be in the public domain and may belong to the Paul Rudolph Estate.

New Art Building for the Manoa Campus of the University of Hawaii

• The proposed project site is located between Bachman and Hemingway Halls at the Manoa campus of the University of Hawaii.

• Rudolph prepares plans for a building that is to cost $2.8 million and be completed in 1970.

• The site of the proposed Art Building is relocated to the corner of East-West Road and Dole Street, requiring the demolition of existing Gilmore Hall.

• Drawings are changed again when the second site is designated part of the 21 acres for the federal government’s proposed East-West Center (Burns Hall is later constructed on the site).

• The Art Building is completed in Fall 1975 at a cost of $6.4 million. The building is designed by Group 70 Lab, Francis Oda architect in collaboration with the art faculty, especially its chairman Prithwish Neogy.
