Colin Rowe
Colin Rowe (27 March 1920 – 5 November 1999) was a British-born, American-naturalised architectural historian, critic, theoretician and teacher. He is acknowledged to have been a major theoretical and critical influence in the second half of the twentieth century on world architecture and
urbanism. During his life he taught briefly at the
University of Texas at Austin and, for one year, at the
University of Cambridge in England. For most of his life he was a professor at
Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Many of Rowe’s students became important architects and extended his influence throughout the architecture and planning professions. In 1995 he was awarded the Gold Medal by the
Royal Institute of British Architects, its highest honor. He was also awarded the Athena Medal from the
Congress for the New Urbanism posthumously in 2011.
