High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Antonin Raymond (Antonn Reimann; 10 May 1888, Kladno - 21 November 1976 Langhorne, Pennsylvania) was a Czech architect, who lived and worked in the USA and Japan. His initial work with American architects Cass Gilbert and Frank Lloyd Wright gave him an insight into the use of concrete for texture and structure that he would refine throughout his six decade career. At studio practices in New Hope, Pennsylvania and Tokyo, he explored traditional Japanese building techniques with the latest American building innovations. He applied these principles to a wide range of projects in Japan, America and India.
