}}Carol Willis is the founder, director, and curator of the Skyscraper Museum.[1] She is also adjunct associate professor of Urban Studies at Columbia University.[2] Herbert Muschamp described Willis in The New York Times as the “woman who created the Skyscraper Museum in 1996 from nothing but her imagination, her passion for New York architecture, and her belief in the importance of history and the value of the public realm.”[3]

Life

Willis graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Boston University (B.A Art History, 1971.) She studied architectural history at Columbia University in the Department of Art History and Archaeology (M.A., 1976, M.Phil.,1979.)[4]

Willis is author of Form Follows Finance: Skyscrapers and Skylines in New York and Chicago. The book received an AIA book award and the "Best Book on North American Urbanism" in 1995 by the Urban History Association.[5]

Willis is married to Mark Willis, a banker and adjunct professor of urban planning at NYU.[6]
