Matthew Frederick

Matthew Frederick is an architect, urban designer, and best-selling author. He began his writing career as the architecture critic for the Harrisburg (PA) Patriot News before authoring and illustrating one of the most successful architecture books of all time, 101 Things I Learned in Architecture School (MIT Press, 2007). With nearly a quarter-million English language copies in print and translations into thirteen languages, 101TILIAS subsequently inspired the 101 Things I Learned Series from Grand Central Publishing (formerly Warner Books). Mr. Frederick is the series editor, co-author, and illustrator, and in 2010 released successful titles in Business, Culinary, Fashion, and Film School.

Mr. Frederick lives in Hudson, New York, where, in addition to further extending the 101 Things I Learned series, he is writing two books on urban theory, Copernicus Goes to Suburbia and Radical Urbanism, two screenplays, a graphic memoir, and forty-seven other projects that probably won't be published.
