History
Samuel Anderson Architects was founded under the name Anderson Kastner Architects by Samuel Anderson and Johannes Kastner-Lanjus in 1991. Anderson graduated cum laude from Harvard University in 1975 with a degree in psychology, art, and philosophy. After an internship at Sussex University, he received his professional architecture degree from Cooper Union.[1] He then began his career at Smith-Miller and Hawkinson Architects in New York and then moving on to Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects. While at the latter firm, he designed the Stevenson Dining and Social Center (now known as the Stevenson Event Center) at Oberlin College and the Busch-Reisinger Museum's Fine Arts Library at his alma mater Harvard University. He is, also, an adjunct professor at his other alma mater, Cooper Union, where he teaches studio design courses.
