Michael Grave's career has been one of the most remarkably creative and successful of any American architect today. His extensive oeuvre includes such renowned projects as the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel and Walt Disney World Swan hotel in Florida, the San Juan Capistrano Library in California, and the precedent setting Portland Building in Oregon, as well as designs for his highly popular lines of furniture, home furnishings, and artifacts. Grave's signature aesthetic-elemental shapes, references to historical forms, and warm colors that often reflect Italian and classical influences-is recognized worldwide.
