HUGH ASHER STUBBINS JR. (1912-2006)

Stubbins was born in Birmingham AL and attended Georgia Tech before getting his master's degree from Harvard, where he studied with Walter Gropius. He worked for Royal Barry Wills for three years. After that, he had a short partnership with Marc Peter. Gropius invited him to take a faculty position at Harvard in 1940. When Gropius resigned, Stubbins became Chairman of the Department of Architecture. Stubbins started Hugh Stubbins and Associates from his own house and hired some of his former students like I. M. Pei, Robert Geddes, Philip Johnson, Sarah and Chip Harkness, and Paul Rudolph. He remained on the Harvard faculty until 1972.  The firm created significant buildings across the US and abroad. The New York Times called his 1977 Citicorp Center "by any standard...one of New York's significant buildings." He also designed the 1991 Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley CA. The firm eventually merged with Philadelphia-based Kling in 2007 to form KlingStubbins. Bio adapted from Wikipedia and ModernMass. Special thanks to Carie Chesarino for her extensive research.
