2000: the year of the RMHF 10th anniversary!
Ten Fellows gathered in France to celebrate the program.
This was a response to Fellows’s desire for having an opportunity to learn from each other’s current projects and network wih the new Fellows and to exchange ideas on the problems faced in the architectural field.
Thanks to Didier Repellin (ACMH, IGMH), first days great supporter of the RMHF program and to Pierre-Antoine Gatier (1991 RMH Fellow), the Alumni visited several sites in Paris and Lyon. For instance, l’Opera Garnier or La Tourette, the Le Corbusier convent.
The RMHF Association was created, and the decision of meeting in the future every other year in France and the USA taken.

ALMOST everyone in New York knows the Frick Collection, at Fifth Avenue and 70th Street, and the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, at Fifth and 91st, the pair of stupendous mansions built by the steel titans Henry Clay Frick and Andrew Carnegie. But their architectural majesty was only two-thirds of a ferric triad, the last the house of Charles M. Schwab, the Carnegie protégé who became the head of United States Steel and then Bethlehem Steel.
