Stubbins, Hugh Asher, Jr.
▪ 2007

      American architect (b. Jan. 11, 1912, Birmingham, Ala.—d. July 5, 2006, Cambridge, Mass.), was a prolific and versatile architect who designed compelling buildings in a range of styles and locales, including Congress Hall (1957) in Berlin, the Citicorp Center (1978) in New York City, and the Federal Reserve Bank (1978) in Boston. Stubbins was perhaps best known for his design of the Ronald W. Reagan Presidential Library and Museum (1991) in Simi Valley, Calif. The sprawling facility was built in the California Mission Revival style. Stubbins held a master's degree in architecture (1935) from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. His firm, Hugh Stubbins and Associates, was based in Cambridge. Stubbins's last design was the Landmark Tower (1993) in Yokohama, Japan; at 60 stories, it was Japan's tallest building. Stubbins was named a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1957 and of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in 1960. He was the recipient of the AIA's National Honor Award in 1979.
