Biographical information:
Contributed by Special Collections, Frances Loeb Library, Harvard Graduate School of Design: Joseph Wasserman (1931-2004) was a graduate of Harvard College and the Harvard University Graduate School of Design (MArch 1957). Joining Norman Hoberman (MArch 1957) in professional practice, their firm, with a focus on community planning and affordable housing, developed some 2,000 units for the New York State Urban Development Corporation. Among their most notable work were complexes for the elderly constructed in Rochester, NY, Westchester County and on Coney Island. The Columbus Townhouses on New Yorks upper West Side (with Jerome Kretchmer) is another significant Wasserman design.
