Mr.
Graves, FAIA, who has been in the forefront of architecture and design
since he founded his practice in 1964, has been 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, most commonly
recognized through his designs for domestic products that are sold at
Target stores throughout the United States. He is the recipient of over
185 design awards, including the Rome Prize in 1960 and studied at the
American Academy in Rome, of which he is now a Trustee. Mr. Graves began
a nearly 40-year teaching career at Princeton University, where he is now
the Robert Schirmer Professor of Architecture, Emeritus. He has received
12 honorary doctorates and is a member of the American Academy of Arts
and Letters, as well as a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects.
His practice has evolved into two firms: Michael Graves & Associates,
which provides architecture, master planning, and interior design
services, and has designed over 350 buildings worldwide, and Michael
Graves Design Group, which specializes in product and graphic design, as
well as branding services.

In 2003, a sudden illness left him paralyzed from the
waist down. Now confined to a wheelchair, Mr. Graves' designs continue to
combine simple utility, functional innovation, and formal beauty with his
now deeper understanding of the importance of accessibility and
patient-centered design in the healthcare sector.
