He designed the award-winning Center for Holocaust Studies at Clark University, which was completed in 1999.
Other memorial projects include a project for the Asociacion Mutual Israelita Argentina bombed in 1994, a Memorial for Martin Luther King, Jr. in Washington, D.C., and the Buenos Aires Holocaust Museum Project. He is currently working on a memorial for the Camp Meigs training site of the Massachusetts regiments that served during the Civil War.
