  Since joining the faculty in 1978, Friedman has taught courses in the history of urban form, medieval architecture, and Italian Renaissance architecture. During the last two years he has also lectured on Italian medieval urban form at the annual meeting of the Renaissance Society of America, at the meeting of European Urban Historians held in Venice in August 1998, and, in January of 1999, at the conference (which he organized) held in the Palazzo della Signoria in Florence to celebrate the 700th Anniversary of the foundation of the first new towns by that city. Friedman graduated from Brandeis University with a BA in 1965, attended the University of Munich for a year, and received a PhD from Harvard University in 1972. He has held fellowships at I Tatti in Florence (1969-71, 1976, 1988), the American Academy in Rome (1988-89), and the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton (1985). His book Florentine New Towns: Urban Design in the Late Middle Ages (MIT Press) won the Alice Davis Hitchcock award from the Society of Architectural Historians for the most distinguished work of architectural history in 1989.
