Education
Rapson earned architecture degrees at the University of Michigan, and at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, where he studied under Eliel Saarinen. “Cranbrook was a very exciting, dynamic place where I met and worked with guys like Charlie Eames, Harry Bertoia, and Harry Weese,” Rapson said.
As a young architect, Rapson worked for the Saarinen architectural office from 1940-41. He moved to Chicago in 1941, where he worked with George Fred Keck and others.
