About

[edit]

The principal designers were 1982 Pritzker Prize laureate Kevin Roche (June 1922 – 2019),[2] with John Dinkeloo—a graduate of the University of Michigan—as the expert in construction and technology. After Roche's death, the firm relaunched in 2020 as Roche Modern under director Jerry Boryca and managing director Eamon Roche.[3] The firm is now based out of New Haven, CT.

Roche and Dinkeloo both previously worked with Eero Saarinen. Almost all buildings built by Roche are with this firm, and they exhibit his particular architecture and aesthetic, although it has changed wildly throughout the past 40 years. Earlier buildings were characterized by massive facades and experimentation with exposed steel and concrete, while more recent buildings emphasize a clean, glassy look suggesting futuristic and green architecture. The firm also built in postmodern and historicist styles during the early 1990s.
