Author Information

Allan Greenberg is the 2006 recipient of the Richard H. Driehaus Prize for Architecture and is one of the most important classical architects in practice today. He was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and was educated at the University of Witwatersrand, where he was trained in classical and Gothic architecture. Allan worked for leading Scandinavian modernist architects Jorn Utzon, with whom he worked on the Sydney Opera House, and Viljo Revell. After receiving his Master of Architecture degree from Yale University in 1965, he spent two years in the City of New Haven's Redevelopment Agency, and later served as Architectural Consultant to Connecticut's Chief Justice from 1967 to 1979. He received his U.S. citizenship in 1973. Greenberg is the most knowing, most serious practitioner of Classicism currently on the scene in this country... Greenberg belongs in the succession of Charles Follen McKim, Daniel Burnham, Henry Bacon, John Russell Pope, and Arthur Brown. And above all he belongs to the succession of Greece and Rome, of Vignola and Sanmicheli, of Vanvitelli, Ledoux, and Labrouste, to the visionary company of those who play the great game of Classicism.
