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.

International Building - Office & Commercial Building

In 1991, a 12 story, 64,045 ft² (5,949.97 m²) office building with two floors of retail is built on the site by Yat Yuen Hong Company Ltd. The building is known as the ‘International Building’.
The Rudolph design remains unbuilt.
The project is being researched as part of an upcoming book ‘RUDOLPH::RENAISSANCE Evaluating Paul Rudolph’s contributions to architecture through the undiscovered late works in Asia’

“The International Tower continues Rudolph’s efforts to humanize the workplace by breaking the monotony of the standard office block. Rudolph juxtaposes expansive, loft-like floors for clerical workers with cantilevered private offices for executives. Tendril-like columns support the body of the tower, which Rudolph crowns with a three-story sloped-glass penthouse.”
