==Early life, education, and career==
Born in Seattle to Norwegian and Italian immigrants, Bassetti grew up south of Seattle and spent several years with his paternal family in Turin, Italy.〔(AIA Seattle )〕 After graduating from Seattle’s Garfield High School he studied engineering for a year before switching to architecture, earning a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Washington in 1942. During World War II, he worked as a draftsman with the Federal Public Housing Authority and with Seattle architect Paul Thiry.〔 After the war he studied at the Harvard Graduate School of Design under Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer, was in the same class as I.M. Pei, and graduated with a Masters of Architecture in 1946.〔I.M. Pei〕
Bassetti worked for Alvar Aalto in Boston before returning to Seattle where he worked for Naramore Bain Brady Johanson (NBBJ) 1946-1947.〔〔(U. of W. digital library )〕 Within his first year there, a Bassetti-designed house won an award sponsored by The Seattle Times and the local AIA office.〔 In 1947 he established his first firm by renting space in the office of friend (Jack Morse ); together they established the architectural firms of Bassetti & Morse, Architects (1947–1962), with Wendell Lovett as one early employee, and later Honolulu-based Bassetti, Morse and Tatom, Architects.〔 In 1962 Bassetti and Morse separated, with Bassetti first practicing as Fred Bassetti & Company, Architects, later as Bassetti Norton Metler Architects with partners Skip Norton and Richard Metler, then also with Karlis Rekevics as Bassetti/Norton/Metler/Rekeviks Architects.〔 In 1990 Lorne McConachie became a partner.〔(Joe Nebbefield in Design Intelligence 1999 )〕 By 1994 Bassetti and all other titled principals had retired.〔 The firm has since operated as Bassetti Architects under McConachie and new partners.〔〔〔(Bassetti Architects )〕
Bassetti's teaching career included positions as a guest critic at Columbia University, lecturing at Columbia University, MIT, Rice University, and the Universities of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia.〔
