In memoriam — those we lost in 2021
2021 was unfortunately a record year in terms of the death notices and obituaries of many who contributed to our profession in ways both large and small. Though our pages were filled with heartfelt tributes to the many who were taken from us in fields that included academia (like Thomas Gordon Smith, Lance Hosey, and Donald P. Ryder) and urban planning (Alexander Garvin and Niall McCullough) as well as a multitude whose contributions to modernism (Bernard Judge, James L. Nagle, and Hugh Newell Jacobson) and other forms of architecture (Alan Lapidus) will be tragically missed, and still more whose work in preservation (Charles Cassell), conceptual art (Lawrence Weiner), architecture journalism (Kristen Richards), and philanthropy (Eli Broad and Richard Driehaus) will be remembered with equal fondness. Here below is a list of those we lost in the past year. Photo: Benedict Johnson. Image courtesy Rogers Stirk Harbour + PartnersRichard Rogers (1933–2021) More than a colorful character...
