Andy Martin was born in Middletown, Connecticut, USA. He studied architecture at the University of Technology and completed his initial training at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London.
Martin moved to Paris in 1992 where he began working with Marc Newson on several interior projects. It was through collaborations on Coast restaurant (London) and Mash & Air (Manchester) that Martin developed his interest in restaurant design. Martin's client on these projects was the restaurateur Oliver Peyton. Martin was appointed as Concept Architect for the flagship Mash 02 restaurant in London.[citation needed]
After winning an architectural competition in 1999, he competed against Zaha Hadid.[1] Martin was asked to design the Isola restaurant in London. After the success of this restaurant, Martin formed a new practice, Andy Martin Architecture. He designed the Olga Polizzi and William Shawcross residence in West London. Andy Martin Architecture designs restaurants and bars around London and has worked on projects in Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, California and Greece.[2]

Anthony Robert Martin-Trigona, usually known as Andy Martin (born 1945), is an American perennial candidate who has never been elected to office, running as both a Democrat and a Republican. He is a vexatious litigant who has filed over 250 political lawsuits nationwide. In Connecticut, a federal judge once banned Martin from filing lawsuits in any court in the nation without a judge's permission. The federal judge said Martin considered filing lawsuits to be a "veritable sport." The Nation, The Washington Post, and The New York Times identified Martin as the primary source of false rumors that then-presidential candidate Barack Obama was secretly a Muslim during the 2008 presidential election (an allegation Martin had made as early as 2004). In a later interview with CNN, Martin explicitly abandoned this view and now asserts Obama's real father is not Barack Obama Sr., but African-American journalist Frank Marshall Davis. On October 17, 2008, Martin filed a lawsuit against the state of Hawaii, calling for the public release of Obama's birth certificate and other vital records. At the time, conspiracy theories postulated that Obama was not a natural-born citizen of the United States. Obama had previously posted an image of his short-form birth certificate online. Martin's lawsuit sought a copy of Obama's long-form birth certificate. On November 19, the Supreme Court of Hawaii dismissed Martin's lawsuit.

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
