Gertrude Kerbis
Gertrude L. Kerbis is an American architect who was born in 1926, in Chicago. She worked for and studied under some of the most significant modernists of her day, including Carl Koch, Walter Gropius and Mies Van Der Rohe.〔Berke, Arnold. "Chicago's First Lady of Modernism - National Trust for Historic Preservation." ''Preservationnation.org''. National Trust Organization, 22 Mar. 2010. Web. 10 Oct. 2015.〕 She played a leading role in designing several major milestones in the development of American modernism, including the Lustron house, the US Air Force Academy, and O'Hare International Airport. She has been an architect for over 50 years, who has contributed greatly to the architectural community in multiple ways. She went against the status quo of gender roles, shown by founding the Chicago Women in Architecture in 1973. Her passion for design, and determination led to her wide range of projects and work experience.
== Life/Education ==
She was born in the Northwest side of Chicago, Illinois to two immigrant parents. Her father originated from Southern Germany, and her mother from White Russia. Her childhood was rather poor even though her father labored his entire life. She started her educational career at Wright Community College, but transferred to University of Wisconsin when her family moved to Wisconsin. There she was first introduced to architecture through an article by Frank Lloyd Wright.〔Blum, Betty J. "Gertrude Kerbis (b. 1926)." ''The Art Institute of Chicago''. Estate of Norman Schlossman, 21 May 1996. Web. 15 Oct. 2015〕 She was inspired to pursue architecture, but as it wasn’t a program at the University of Wisconsin, she transferred to the University of Illinois in 1948 where she did her undergrad degree in architectural engineering. After, she went to the Harvard Graduate School of Design with Walter Gropius from 1949-1950. In 1954 she received her masters at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, IL, where she studied under Mies van der Rohe. Soon after, she married Walter Peterhans and had a child named Julian. They divorced and she married Donal Kerbis and had another child named Kim.
