[[Marcel Breuer]], who had worked with him at the Bauhaus, joined him and opened an office in Cambridge. The fame of Gropius and Breuer attracted many students, who themselves became famous architects, including [[Ieoh Ming Pei]] and [[Philip Johnson]]. They did not receive an important commission until 1941, when they designed housing for workers in Kensington, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh., In 1945 Gropius and Breuer associated with a group of younger architects under the name TAC ([[The Architects Collaborative]]). Their notable works included the building of the [[Harvard Graduate School of Design]], the U.S. Embassy in Athens (1956β57), and the headquarters of Pan American Airways in New York (1958β63).{{Sfn|Bony|2012|page=120}}
