Oscar Stonorov

Oscar Gregory Stonorov (December 2, 1905 – May 9, 1970) was a modernist architect and architectural writer, historian and archivist who emigrated to the United States from Germany in 1929.

[citation needed] In these years, Stonorov researched and co-edited with Willy Boesiger the publication of the work of Swiss architect Le Corbusier, covering the period 1910 to 1929 (published in 1929).

[3] In 1940 Stonorov, along with George Howe, worked on the design of housing developments in Pennsylvania with Louis Kahn.

A formal architectural office partnership between Stonorov and Louis Kahn began in February 1942 and ended in March 1947, produced fifty-four known projects and structures.

[citation needed] Stonorov lived and worked near Philadelphia, where he designed modernist public housing, such as the Carl Mackley Houses, which was added to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 1982[10] and the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
