Biographical/Historical Sketch
Paul V. Turner, trained as an architect and art historian, has been on the faculty of
Stanford's Dept. of Art and Art History since 1971. His publications include THE
EDUCATION OF LE CORBUSIER; THE FOUNDERS & THE ARCHITECTS: THE DESIGN OF STANFORD
UNIVERSITY; and CAMPUS: AN AMERICAN PLANNING TRADITION. He chaired the university
committee overseeing the repair of Frank Lloyd Wright's Hanna House, badly damaged in
the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, and in 2001 received the Lloyd W. Dinkelspiel Award for
distinctive contributions to undergraduate education.
