Luchini named as Maritz
professor in architecture By Liam Otten Adrian Luchini has been named the Raymond E. Maritz Professor in the School of Architecture. The chair was established through an earlier gift from the late William E. Maritz and his wife, Jackie Maritz. The chair honors two people -- the late architect Raymond E. Maritz (William Maritz's uncle) and Elizabeth "Ibby" Gray Danforth, wife of William H. Danforth, chancellor emeritus and vice chairman of the Board of Trustees.
William Maritz, who passed away in February 2001, was a member of the Board of Trustees and a major civic leader. The longtime chairman of Maritz Inc., a multibillion-dollar international marketing services corporation, he also served as president of Civic Progress and as chairman of the Regional Commerce and Growth Association, Laclede's Landing Redevelopment Corp. (which he founded) and the VP Fair Foundation (now Fair St. Louis), which he helped found. Luchini has practiced widely both in the United States and in his native Argentina, and his work has been published in numerous architectural journals, including A&U, Casabella, Domus, Quaderns and Progressive Architecture. Recent projects include the Camp Beersheba Chapel in Beersheba Springs, Tenn.; the Concourse Building and Linkage for the St. Louis Gateway Transportation Center; and Isabel House, a new headmaster's residence for The Principia, St. Louis. "Adrian is fast becoming a leader in the profession," said architecture Dean Cynthia Weese. "His work, particularly in the last decade, has brought him to international attention, yet he remains a brilliant, committed teacher who truly invests himself in his students and their work." In addition to teaching duties, Luchini serves as the School of Architecture's director of global studies. He recently oversaw the launch of two international studios -- a fall semester in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and a spring semester in Helsinki, Finland. Luchini has served as design principal of architecture at Jacobs Facilities Inc. since 1996, prior to which he served as a senior architect at Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum Inc. He also has worked in private practice as a principal of the firm Schwetye Luchini Architects, and collaborated with Pritzker Prize-winning architect Rafael Moneo. Luchini's honors include several Design Excellence Awards from the American Institute of Architects. In 1990, he was named on the "Young Architects" list by Progressive Architecture and in 1992 received the "Emerging Voices" citation by the Architectural League of New York. A monograph of his work was published in 1999 as part of the Contemporary World Architects series. Luchini earned degrees in architecture and planning from the Universidad Catolica de Cordoba, the University of Cincinnati and Harvard University. He has lectured extensively in Europe, South America and the United States, and has taught at Washington University since 1985. A formal installation ceremony will be announced. |
