Craig Ellwood (born Jon Nelson Burke; April 22, 1922 – May 30, 1992) was an American architect whose career spanned the early 1950s through the mid-1970s in Los Angeles. Although untrained as an architect, he fashioned an influential persona and career through a talent for good design, self-promotion, and ambition. He was recognized professionally for fusing of the formalism of Mies van der Rohe with the informal style of California modernists.^[1]
