Henry Jandl *37

Henry Jandl, renowned architect and professor emeritus of architecture at Princeton, died in Richmond, Va., Jan. 3, 2004, after a fall in his home. He was 93.

A member of the Princeton faculty from 1940-75, Jandl designed private homes and civic buildings throughout the local community, including additions to Westminster Choir College and Princeton Country Day School. A proponent of contemporary design, he co-directed a 1946 conference on urban planning that was attended by such well-known figures as Robert Moses, Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Gropius, and Mies van der Rohe.

Jandl earned a bachelor's degree from Carnegie Mellon and an MFA from Princeton. In 1937 he also won the Paris Prize, awarded to the most promising young architect in the US, to study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.

After retirement, Jandl moved to Richmond, spending his time in volunteer work. He also enjoyed watercolor painting and carving wooden bowls.

He leaves his wife, Nancy; his daughter Margaret; seven stepchildren, and many step-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren. His first wife, Gertrude, and his son H. Ward, preceded him in death.
