NEW HAVEN — Erwin Hauer, designer of architectural screens favored by the likes of famed architects Philip Johnson and Marcel Breuer and recently enjoying a renaissance of his own works, is moving his business to a city neighborhood that is undergoing a renewal itself.

Hauer, 83, and Enrique Rosado, 42, a former student, are consolidating the design and production components of their company at the former Flint Ladder Company property bound by Chapel, Lloyd and River streets.

A professor at the Yale School of Architecture for more than three decades, Hauer’s geometrically complex screens, mainly cast in durable masonry materials, but now also in wood fibers produced through digitally controlled milling machines, thanks to Rosado, can be found in New York, Miami, Montreal, Mexico City and Caracas, Venezuela.

The screens serve as room dividers or walls, mostly in corporate or commercial settings.
