Victor Gruen (1903-1980) was born Victor David Gruenbaum in Vienna, Austria. He
worked as an architect in Austria, Germany, and Czechoslovakia from 1929-1938, when
he then emigrated to the U.S. to escape World War II. He first worked as a set and
store designer in New York City. He established Victor Gruen Associates in 1939, one
of the nation's leading architectural, planning, and engineering firms. Gruen
Associates designed the first regional shopping center, the Northland Shopping
Center in Detroit in 1954 and the first fully enclosed shopping center, Southdale
Shopping Center near Minneapolis in 1956. His firm also worked extensively on urban
center revitalization. Gruen retired in 1967 and wrote on urban planning and urban
sprawl, including "Shopping Towns, USA" (1960), "The Heart of Our Cities" (1964) and
"Centers for the Urban Environment" (1973).
Collection contains materials relating to Gruen's architectural career, including
speeches and articles written by Gruen on shopping centers, urban renewal, area
planning, and architecture; newspaper and magazine clippings; professional
correspondence; the galleys, manuscripts, photographs, correspondence, and reviews
of "Shopping Towns USA," "The Heart of Our Cities" and "Centers for the Urban
Environment;" and project files and booklets produced by Victor Gruen Associates
describing various projects. The Collection also contains photographs and negatives
of Gruen and his projects. Some film and audiotapes of programs, speeches, and
interviews relating to Gruen are also present.
