Jaquelin \u201cJaque\u201d Taylor Robertson, FAIA, a prominent U.S. architect and proponent of urban design, passed away on May 9 at 87.<\/p>\n

Robertson was known for his work creating private residences as well as planning large-scale projects including the town of Celebration, Florida. Robertson served as the founding partner at architecture and urban design firm Cooper Robertson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Robertson joined forces with his longtime friend and former Yale classmate, Alexander Cooper in 1988. Along with\u00a0David McGregor and Brian Shea, they formed the four pillars of what would become Cooper, Robertson\u00a0& Partners.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the course of his long, fruitful, and rich life, Jaque\u2019s accomplishments were innumerable, extraordinary and\u00a0widely varied,\u201d Cooper Robertson said in a statement. \u201cHe had a staggering breadth of life experiences and a seemingly bottomless well of talents; always\u00a0setting the bar high, holding to the highest of standards, and accepting nothing short of excellence, first in himself,\u00a0and in his partners and colleagues as well,\u201d<\/p>\n

Robertson is survived by his wife of 58 years, Anya Sohn Robertson, as well as his sister, Catherine \u201cKitty\u201d Robertson\u00a0Claiborne of Virginia.<\/p>\n

\u201cJaque mentored, and instilled certain values in, dozens of young architects over his career\u2014many of whom are still\u00a0with Cooper, Robertson, and many others who are practicing elsewhere across the globe. That is, perhaps, his\u00a0greatest gift to the profession and the culture, perhaps his greatest legacy,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
