Descrição: William Wurster (1885 - 1973) works as an architect in the twenties and sixties of the twentieth century. He attends the academic environments of Harvard, Yale, MIT and Berkeley, occupying leading institutional roles. His professional center of gravity is California, but he is known throughout the American continent and in Europe as an architect and university professor. His contacts with intellectuals and urbanists such as Lewis Mumford and Catherine Bauer are close. The contemporary and posthumous critique has presented his work mainly from the historical and typological point of view, without investigating the matrix of thought that underlies it and which, if understood within the Rooseveltian context in which it is shaped, testifies the ability to conduct the value of the architectural project to its process rather than to its form.
