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.

Pavarini Residence

George F. Pavarini Jr. (also known as George Pavarini Bellavia) inherits the property from Ned E. Depinet (1890-1974) on August 26, 1976. Depinet was President of RKO Radio Pictures, Inc. and Pathé News, Inc.
The project scope is to design a new residence for George F. Pavarini (1926-2022) and Mary Louise Pavarini (1927-). Mr. Pavarini served as a pilot during World War II before getting a bachelor’s degree in architecture from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1951. He then joined the Pavarini Construction Company, his father’s general contracting business.
The property is subdivided in 1985.
On March 23, 1990 George F. Pavarini conveys Lot #1 (known as 181 Byram Shore Road) to his son, Charles E. Pavarini. The deed is transferred on September 10, 1990.
George Pavarini retires from Pavarini Construction Company in 1998 and earns a doctorate in architecture from Yale University. He later becomes a professor.
The residence is listed for sale on February 27, 2012 for $12,495,000 USD. The listing is removed on April 02, 2012.
The residence is sold on June 14, 2012 for $12,000,000 USD to Kadymama LLC.
In 2013 the residence is demolished and replaced with a new 12,044 ft² (1,118.9 m²) residence with 7 bedrooms and 9.5 baths.
George F Pavarini passes away on February 04, 2022.
