He was one of the originators of the Swiss style of graphic design. Rand was educated at the Pratt Institute (1929-1932), the New School for Design (1932-1933) and the Art Students League (1933-1934). In his early career, he decided to camouflage and abbreviate the overtly Jewish identity conveyed by “Peretz Rosenbaum,” shortening his forename to ‘Paul’ and taking ‘Rand’ from an uncle to form his new surname. Morris Wyszogrod, a friend and associate of rand, noted “He figured that ‘Paul Rand’, four letters here, four letters there, would create a nice symbol, so he became Paul Rand.” Rand was a professor at Pratt, Cooper Union and Yale University.
Einstein used a combination of theories on mass, energy and light to come up with his formula of e=mc2 and from that he became the father of modern physics. Michael Faraday was an uneducated English blacksmith who grew up in the 19th century. When Faraday was 20, he received tickets to a series of lectures at the Royal Institution that was the beginning of his journey into science . Faradays interests in science soon brought him to the top of his field where he discovered the invisible fields of electricity and magnetism .He created the law of conservation of energy which is the total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant over time. Faraday also discovered the electromagnetic waves when conducting an experiment that later on led to the invention of the electric motor.
It was here; at a campus where over 60% of students voted for the Nazi Party in student union elections in 1930 that traditionalist and Nazi ideology began to influence Speer and his architecture.
