Graham Gund

An heir to George Gund II, he is also a collector of contemporary art, whose collection has been widely exhibited[2] and published.

[11] With his wife Ann, he gave a substantial gift of over 80 modern and contemporary artworks to start the museum's permanent collection.

For Boston's Institute for Contemporary Art, Gund created an unexpected, open, angular interior that played against the rigid geometry of a historic Richardsonian Romanesque building.

Among the adaptive uses was the Norwalk Maritime Center in Connecticut, a museum and aquarium project housed in a salvaged iron works complex, with a new IMAX theater.

New institutional buildings included major structures for Plimoth Plantation in Plymouth, MA, and for the Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta.

At this time, Gund played a role as both architect and developer to reclaim threatened or damaged historic buildings, as in the Church Court Condominiums in Boston and Bulfinch Square in Cambridge.

[14] Other projects included the Johnston Guardhouse at Harvard Yard[15] (1983), adaptive reuse of an ironworks building for the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk (1988), and the Art Deco Revival 31-story 75 State Street (also known as the Fleet Bank Center), Boston (1989), in association with Skidmore, Owings and Merrill.

Recent notable buildings designed by the firm include the headquarters for the National Association of Realtors in Washington, D.C.,[19] occupying a prominent location on New Jersey Avenue, the conservatory for the Cleveland Botanical Garden, the Lansburgh Theater for the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC,[20] The Fannie Cox Math and Science Center for Friends' Central School in Wynnewood, PA,[21] the synagogue building for Young Israel of Brookline, Massachusetts, the Kenyon Athletic Center, and buildings on many American college campuses, including those of Harvard University, Denison University, and Kenyon College.
