Architect Richard Green, FAIA (B.Arch. 1968), was honored as NC State University’s Distinguished Alumnus from the College of Design for 2001.
“He has made significant contributions to the conduct of architecture with a wide variety of clients," said Dean Marvin J. Malecha. "He has always been generous with his time when it comes to students and interns, and he has been a regular visitor, lecturer and design instructor at the College of Design, helping to introduce an innovative model of case study education.”
Richard Green is chairman and president of The Stubbins Associates Inc., a design firm in Cambridge, Mass., that serves clients internationally. Since 1968, Green has designed many of the firm’s award-winning projects including the Treasury Building in Singapore. Among his awards for excellence in design is the 1972 Rotch Traveling Scholarship.
He has served as a lecturer, architectural and urban design critic and thesis advisor at Harvard University and has also lectured at Princeton, the University of Southern California, Notre Dame, NC State University, Arizona State University, the National University of Mexico and numerous other institutions. In addition, he has served on many regional and national design award juries.
Green received a Bachelor of Architecture with honors from NC State University in 1968 and was a Loeb Fellow in Advanced Environmental Studies at Harvard Graduate School of Design from 1978-79.
Green's recent design portfolio includes several undergraduate science teaching facilities at colleges and universities across the nation including Carleton College, Duke University, University of Minnesota, Morris, Northern Michigan University, NC State University and the University of Chicago. In all of these facilities, the design emphasis has been to create buildings that respond to unique cultural, climatic and contextual influences as well as places that maximize interaction between students and faculty to provide an animated, energetic setting to transfer existing information as well as generate new knowledge.
