Lucien Lagrange, AIA, BSArch’70, BArch’72, is creating a legacy that already has made him one of the most respected architects of this generation. His designs for contemporary skyscrapers, classically inspired commercial mixed-use structures, and sophisticated renovations define the Chicago cityscape and have brought him international renown.
Details: Before founding his own firm in 1985, Lucien Lagrange was at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, where he designed major office tower and retail projects, among others, across the nation.
He holds a Bachelor of Architecture and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from McGill University and a Bachelor of Science from Sherbrooke University.
In his book Lagrange speaks about the ongoing influence of his years at McGill’s School of Architecture, and that of his professors, particularly Peter Collins and Norbert Schoenauer.
Copies of the book are available at the McGill Bookstore. See http://www.mcgill.ca/bookstore/
