people find their way around, or how a building 

fits into environment, or how it can make people 

happy" (Kevin Roche)

700. The Knights of Columbus, New Haven, Conn.

Dear John,

The Knights of Columbus Building is
a remarkable 23 story tower designed
by Roche and Dinkeloo in the 1960s.
The four powerful cylindrical corners
make the building to resemble a fortress.
These four corner towers are made of
poured-in-place concrete and support
the core's corten steel structure.

Best,
R
