Alan Goldberg (architect)
Alan Eliot Goldberg (born 1931) is an American architect known for his work in corporate architecture and design and for his residential modernist architecture in New Canaan, Connecticut. He worked closely with Eliot Noyes at Eliot Noyes & Associates, contributing to corporate design programs for companies including IBM, and later continued the firm's work through AG|ENA. He has also been involved in initiatives related to hydrogen fuel infrastructure and has participated in activities associated with the National Hydrogen Association. He lives in New Canaan, Connecticut with his wife.
Goldberg grew up in Queens, New York. He has described visiting the nearby 1939 New York World's Fair as an early encounter with modernist architecture. In interviews he recalled frequent visits to the fairgrounds and being particularly struck by the U.S. Steel Pavilion Building, with its “stainless steel glistening dome,” an experience he later said inspired his interest in architecture.
When it came time to enroll in high school, Goldberg chose to attend Brooklyn Technical High School, one of the few New York City public schools at the time offering a specialized program in architecture.
He later graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a degree in architecture in 1954.
Following graduation he was drafted into the United States Army during the period of conscription in the 1950s and served for two years before returning to professional architectural practice.
After completing his military service, Goldberg worked for several architectural firms in New York and was part of the team assembled by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson to design the Seagram Building. In 1966 he joined Eliot Noyes & Associates in New Canaan, Connecticut.
At Eliot Noyes & Associates he worked on a range of corporate design programs, including projects for IBM. The firm played a significant role in developing IBM’s integrated corporate design program, which combined architecture, industrial design, graphics, and product design as part of the company's broader visual identity.
Goldberg was named head of the firm's architectural department in 1972 and became a partner in 1974. After the death of Eliot Noyes, he became the sole principal of the firm in 1977 under the name AG/ENA. Goldberg designed and managed a diverse number of projects for some of the nation’s leading corporations and public agencies.
