Marcel Breuer went to London in 1935 and collaborated briefly with architect Walter Gropius. He worked on an Exhibition Pavilion in Bristol and with F.R.S. Yorke (later of Yorke Rosenberg & Marshall - YRM Architects) on a Civic Centre of the Future for London.

Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer quickly moved to America where Gropius set up TAC - The Architecture Collaborative, joined by the brilliant engineer George Patten. Marcel taught with Gropius at Harvard. He ran an architect studio in New York. Most of his work was in the United States of America but with some building projects in Europe, notably France.

Paul Koralek worked with Marcel Breuer in New York: he later formed the architecture practice Ahrends Burton and Koralek in 1961.
