[2] Skurman credits a visit as a teenager to Philip Johnson's office in the Seagram Building on Park Avenue as the deciding moment he wanted to become an architect.
[3] Skurman has cited Andrea Palladio, Juan Gris, Le Corbusier as influences and I.M.
A collage he once made, inspired by Violon et Guitare by Juan Gris, folded and cut simply of only white paper, sliced in the manner in which he draws, was and remains the opening salvo of his style.
[7] In 2010, Skurman received the honor of being named a Chevalier of Arts and Letters by the Minister of Culture of France.
