Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer quickly moved to America where Gropius set up TAC – The Architects’ Collaborative, joined by the brilliant engineer George Patten. Marcel taught with Gropius at Harvard. He ran an architect studio in New York. Most of his work was in the United States of America but with some building projects in Europe, notably France.
