I remember Tony Lumsden. He taught 5th year studio at SCI-Arc , the time between Cesar Pelli and Alberto Bertolli. The 2 project semester class were based on your understanding ie imitating or copying, the style of a chosen master architect: Corbu, Kahn, Aalto, Wright, Mies. No Venturi.
Lumsden's after work crits started from later afternoon and lasted to evening , always over-sketching on flimsy. A roll a night. One student after another.
He had the worst handshake, like holding a dead fish. He was an early-on SCI-Arc faculty member.
