The new book, just out, is, however, the biography of architecture’s own Zelig – he has always been around and pops up everywhere. I have not finished the first chapter, but it has inspired this serendipitous post. I wrote about her the day after she died in this column for the Journal, “ Sketching my mom of moms.”

When I first started architecture school as a freshman in college, I didn’t have the focus or maturity I needed to tackle the curriculum and I ended up having a serious identity crisis when I was 19 years old.
