He served as dean of the Princeton University School of Architecture, where he was instrumental in establishing the school's series documenting its lecture programs.

Relationship to Fuller

Relationship: chronicler. Allen wrote the postscript essay, "R. Buckminster Fuller and Louis I. Kahn," that closes R. Buckminster Fuller: World Man (2014), the volume built around the typescript of R. Buckminster Fuller's 1966 inaugural Kassler Memorial Lecture at Princeton. As the former dean who initiated the book series, Allen frames the volume and uses the postscript to examine the friendship and contrasting sensibilities of Fuller and the architect Louis I. Kahn, situating Fuller within the intellectual life of the Princeton School of Architecture.
