Mr. Izenour: GSFA
Steven

Mr.
Izenour worked with the firm of Venturi Scott Brown & Associates.
He received his bachelors of architecture from Penn in 1965 and
a masters from Yale in 1969. He had been a lecturer in GSFA since
1972. Mr. Izenour was the coauthor of the landmark study Learning
From Las Vegas, a book that changed the way people thought about
the architecture of the commercial strip. Among his designs are
the Children's Garden in Camden and the George D. Widener Memorial
Treehouse at the Philadelphia Zoo. Mr. Izenour also developed an
innovative lighting system used in the Sainsbury Wing of the National
Gallery in London that gave the effect of the paintings having been
restored.
