Samuel Mockbee: Legacy Of A 'Genius'

"Samuel Mockbee died at the University of Mississippi Medical Center on December 30, 2001, at 2:48 p.m. He was 57, and by his own admission just hitting his stride as an architect. He believed--as earlier generations used to--that architects need the weight of life and experience before they can design with empathy, technical understanding, and political savvy. Though his life was cut short, his influence is likely to endure."
