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.

Zucker Residence
On December 5, 1978 the residence is sold by Gerald Mast to Cynthia Zucker.
The project scope is to design an interior renovation and rear addition to an original brownstone built in 1811.
Rudolph renovates the residence again in 1993, adding an elevator and creating an open interior with 4 stories of glass looking into the 22’ x 45’ rear garden.
Interiors are designed by Cecil Hayes.
The property is sold by Cynthia Zucker c/o the Donald Zucker Company on June 04, 2012 for $8,500,000 to 42 West 11 LLC.
On November 21, 2012 Stephan Harris Architects LLP files an Alteration Type-1 to modify the building bulk, including exterior walls, stair, partitions, ceilings and doors. The work is signed off as complete on December 27, 2016.
