	Max Abramovitz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Max Abramovitz (May 23, 1908–September 12, 2004) was a prominent architect of the New York City firm Harrison, Abramovitz, and Abbe.

	Max Abramovitz; architect of Avery Fisher Hall; 96 \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Max Abramovitz, the architect who designed Avery Fisher Hall at New York City's Lincoln Center and also had a hand in the building of the U.N. complex and several well-known Midtown skyscrapers, died Sunday at his home in Pound Ridge, N.Y. He was 96.
		Abramovitz was born in Chicago and received his early training there, but it was in New York City, in a long partnership with Wallace K. Harrison, that he made a significant contribution to postwar modernist architecture.
		Abramovitz's work has remained largely unstudied in part because he did not develop a signature style and he did not cut the kind of larger-than-life figure that many of his architectural contemporaries did.

	Max Abramovitz 1908-2004
		Abramovitz maintained a very close relationship to our university over the course of his entire life and many of us knew Max’s passion for architecture, his intellectual curiosity and warm kindness personally.

		Abramovitz often recounted how when he first entered the architecture program he was quite uncertain if he really wanted to be an architect.

	Historic Concrete Contractor Projects - Assembly Hall - University of Illinois
		It was designed by U of I alumnus Max Abramovitz, whose firm also designed the United Nations Buildings, part of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and Krannert Center for the Performing Arts on the U of I campus.
		Assembly Hall is considered an engineering marvel because of Abramovitz's concrete contractors used prestressed concrete in a way it had never been used before.
		Abramovitz was interested in seeing whether contractors would continue to use his prestressed technique in the way he designed it or if it would be refined in a way to fit in with the previously used forms.

		"A search is always, in a sense, "trouble." In order to search, one leaves familiar territory, questions himself and his surroundings, commits himself to discovery, and to the possibility of action and change," wrote architect Max Abramovitz, after more than 30 years of involvement in building corporate America.
