Alfred Anton Boeke 1922-2011

The Pomo Indians, who once inhabited the land, were long gone the day in 1962
when Al Boeke flew in a small plane over the pristine beaches,
steep bluffs, wind-swept woods and sheep-grazed meadows
along the Pacific Coast in Sonoma County, Calif., about 150 miles north of San Francisco.
What Mr. Boeke saw, in his mind’s eye,
was a residential community that would blend in with that 10-mile stretch,
with its jagged rocks, redwoods, pines and Monterey cypresses.
That vision led to Sea Ranch,
a development that set a standard for environmental preservation.
It now has about 1,700 homes, including one owned by Mr. Boeke

John Bancroft 1928-2011

Sometimes a single building becomes the focus for an architect's endeavours and reputation.
For John Bancroft, who has died aged 82, that building was Pimlico school.
Not only did Bancroft design and see this striking landmark of the 1960s through to completion,
he also waged an unremitting and lonely struggle for more than a decade
to save his cherished creation from destruction, to no ultimate avail.

Edgar A. Tafel USA 1912-2011

architect who was among the best known
of Frank Lloyd Wright’s many apprentices

(...)

As an apprentice in the mid- and late-1930s,
he worked on two of Wright’s most important commissions:
Fallingwater, the serenely cantilevered house
over the Bear Run creek in rural Pennsylvania;
and the Johnson Wax Building in Racine, Wis.,
with its fantastic forest of mushroomlike columns.
