Philip Birnbaum (1907-1996) was an architect whose "output exceeded ...
just about any other architect in recent decades."In addition to some famous buildings, he designed about 300 other buildings that were notable for "virtually no wasted floor space."
Birnbaum was described as "a Hebrew" by Princeton University, and, The Times wrote, was "cautioned in a letter from the university that...
he might not fit into the environment."
His work was not limited to Manhattan or New York City.
