RICHARD SAUL WURMAN
Described by Fortune magazine as an “intellectual hedonist” with a “hummingbird mind,” Richard Saul Wurman seeks ways to make the complex clear. Recognizing at an early age that his ignorance is his greatest asset, he has made it his mission to sort through the abundance of information that is available on every topic, and design the techniques to make it understandable.
In doing so he has continually sought to put himself in the presence of extraordinary people, including (all now all deceased), Francis Crick, Richard Feynman, Jonas Salk, Eva Zeisel, Louis I. Kahn, Charles Eames, Frank Stanton and Schuyler van Renssalaer Cammann, and Arnold Toynbee. There are many others. The only two bosses he had who didn’t fire him were Lou Kahn and Charlie Eames.
As a result, Wurman has had many lives: as an author (83 books); FAIA Architect, 13-year partner in Murphy Levy Wurman Architects; cartographer (mapped 1/3 of the Mayan city of Tikal and current project 19.20.21.); teacher (Cambridge University, England; Princeton; Washington University, St. Louis; University of Southern California; University of California Los Angeles; City College of New York, and Dean, Cal Poly School of Design); urban designer (recipient of MIT’s Kevin Lynch award in urban design); graphic designer (AIGA Gold Medal, membership in AGI and inducted into the Art Directors Hall of Fame); information theorist (Information
