How To Become an Architect?

A steadfast visionary, Paul Chemetov stood out among architects and urban planners who, beginning in the 1950s and 1960s, challenged the rigid doctrines of Beaux-Arts academia. In this memoir published towards the end of his life, Chemetov reflects on his journey as both a man and an architect with a personal and humorous narrative. This autobiography captures over half a century of vibrant intellectual, political, and social engagement.
