The University of Miami School of Architecture
presents a lecture by Michael Graves, FAIA
"A Grand Tour"
In 1960, Michael Graves was awarded the American Academy in Rome’s prestigious Prix de Rome. Having just completed his graduate studies in architecture, he embarked on a Grand Tour that led to a lifelong fascination
with the landscape, the culture, and the history of Italy, which have greatly influenced his approach to architecture, design, art, and the redesign of The Warehouse, Graves’ personal residence in Princeton, New Jersey.
In "A Grand Tour," Graves discusses how his time in Rome has left an indelible mark on his life and work.

Michael Graves, the founder of Michael Graves & Associates and Michael Graves Design Group, is credited with broadening the role of the architect in society and raising public interest in good design as essential to the quality of everyday life.
In 1960, he won the Rome Prize and studied at the American Academy in Rome for two years, of which he is now a Trustee. Graves has received many prestigious awards, including the 1999 National Medal of Arts, the 2001 Gold Medal from the American Institute of Architects, and the 2010 Topaz Medallion from the AIA and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, in recognition of his 39-year teaching career at Princeton University. He has received 12 honorary doctorates, including one from the University of Miami on May 11, 2001.
