Richard Poulin is a design consultant, educator, author and artist living in Palm Springs, California. He has based his forty-year career on a generalist approach to graphic, environmental, interior and exhibition design. Since 1986, he has divided his time between professional practice and academia in New York City, as co-founder and design director of Poulin + Morris Inc., and as an adjunct professor at the School of Visual Arts and Cooper Union. Richard has written seven books on design, which have been translated into eight languages.
Loaded with familiar designs as well as environmental concepts that include wayfinding, furniture, sculpture, and typography, Poulin's 408-page volume is a visual spectacle.-- Palm Springs Life Rudy de Harak is a solid link between American and Swiss modernism. He was an exemplar of minimalist form with a conceptual content. A book on his life and work is sorely needed and long overdue.--Steven Heller
