After the Spanish Civil War he moved to the United States and opened Town Planning Associates with Paul Lester Wiener and Paul Schulz.

His legacy remains in the many great buildings he designed worldwide, including the Miro Foundation in Barcelona, the Holyoke Center in Boston and the Science Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
