Izenour studied art history at [[Swarthmore College]] and architecture at the [[University of Pennsylvania]], before earning a Master of [[Environmental Design]] in 1969 at [[Yale University]]. After completing his degree at Yale, he ran the "Learning from Las Vegas" design studio for a time for Bob Venturi. Next he worked in [[Charles Moore (architect)|Charles Moore]]'s architectural office in New Haven for a year or two.
 
In the late 1960s/early 1970s, he moved with his wife, Elisabeth Margit Gemmill, and their two children (Ann-Kristin and Tessa) back to Philadelphia. There he reunited with Bob Venturi, [[John Rauch]], and [[Denise Scott-Brown]]. "He was a unique spirit from the get-go," Ms. Scott-Brown said. "The rebellious maverick side of our work appealed to him." She credits him with the nickname, "Big Tuna around the office."<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2001/08/26/nyregion/steven-izenour-61-architect-of-american-pop.html Steven Izenour, 61, Architect of American Pop, Dies] New York Times.
