Relocation

Moore led a peripatetic existence, moving from university to university across the US. He was born in Benton Harbor, MI, and attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI, from about 1943 until 1947.

His first teaching assignment occurred at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City between 1950 and 1952. He then did military service in the US Army Reserves, where he served in the Corps of Engineers during the Korean War.

He moved to Princeton, NJ, to attend Princeton University in 1956-1957 and increased his amount of travel thereafter. While he was working at Princeton, he designed at least three houses in Monterey, CA, necessitating at least some trips back to the West Coast. He maintained an office Pebble Beach, CA, working there for about three years, 1959 until 1962, and likely lived somewhere on the Monterey Peninsula at the time. He also commuted to Berkeley to teach at the University of California during the period between 1959 and 1965.

The architect took on the assignment as Chair of the School of Architecture at Yale University in 1965, where he followed the tumultuous tenure of Paul Rudolph

During his time teaching at Berkeley, Moore designed his timeless House in Orinda, that became one of the best-known, small residences of the 1960s in the US.
