The house by Paul Rudolph in Westport was demolished

On Saturday, January 13, 2007, a modernist family house from 1972 designed by the famous architect Paul Rudolph, who studied architecture at Harvard under Walter Gropius and was himself the dean of the Yale University School of Architecture in the 1960s, was demolished in Westport, Connecticut. The demolished house, whose eastern part floated above the ground, was composed of an elongated series of interconnected cubic shapes.
The new owners, prominent real estate developer David Waldman and his wife Yvette, decided to demolish it because they want to build a new house on the site. The building was not listed on the National Register of Historic Places, so it could be torn down in a single day despite many protests. Link>
