Philip Norton Loheed, AIA, Architect, Educator, Philanthropist - of Lincoln, Massachusetts Philip died August 13, 2021, after a year-long struggle with cancer, peacefully napping at home with family and close friends at dinner toasting his full and energetic life of design work and teaching. He was born in Baltimore, Maryland on May 20th, 1943. His wife, Patricia, was born in the same month, year, and town on the 17th. But he was in Johns Hopkins and she in St. Anne's Hospital. This fact was discovered on their first date, a 1964 Halloween party, at the University of Michigan with many A&D school students attending. This early, almost babes in the same hospital discovery signaled a fall romance and a long-lasting family with intertwined careers, set in varied design practices and in teaching. Phil cultivated diverse design interests in: boat design, music, woodworking, furniture design, photography, 3-D PowerCadd Wild Tools program design, watercolor, climate change research, and writing on Bioregional Urbanism theories. In particular, he acted on his early thesis commitment to quality design for communities of color, working with his army vet classmate Bruce to design a performing arts high school on air rights over the freeway and West Grand Blvd., in Detroit well before the riots of 1968. This commitment to community engagement in design, research and advancement of climate change mitigation, came to fruition through the Earthos-Institute, Inc., a nonprofit. Phil continued to the end of his life with pro bono projects in the Alewife District, with Greater Grove Hall Mainstreets, and with EDEM Foundation's work in Ile A Vache, Haiti. Phil was a merchant marine cadet for the Farrell Line, shipping out from NYC after his graduation from Middleboro High School in 1961 on the African Lightning delivering cargo and passengers to ports around the Horn of Africa from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean and back again, arriving late as a freshman in the Naval Architecture program at the University of Michigan. He soon switched to the A&D School Architecture Program, finding it a more diverse and artful seat for his talent and interests. He was a member of Alpha Rho Chi design fraternity, whose house was adjacent to the home of Professor Marston Bates, the famous author and scientist with his wife Nancy, granddaughter of Alexander Graham Bell whose weekend potlucks and intellectual salons influenced Phil and his fraternity mates. Phil received B. Architecture and M.Architecture in the Structures option from the University of Michigan, He and Patricia Schroeder Loheed married, August 14, 1965. Phil served as a draftee in the US Army from Nov 1968 rising to Spec 5, working as a graphic artist at Fort Gordon, GA and at. US Army Command HQ in DaNang, providing command briefing mapping, receiving two Bronze Stars during the Vietnam tour. Phil then studied at Harvard GSD in the MLA program in 1970-71. He received his architectural license and moved to full-time work with Benjamin Thompson and Associates in Harvard Square, where he rose to partner status. His built works include locally the Faneuil Hall Markets; South Street Seaport, NY; Union Station in Washington DC; Ueno Station (Japan); IBM HQ Southbury CT; various campus plans at NYU; Buffalo; and Oneida; and Intercontinental Hotels in Cairo, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain. His personal firm practice from his Somerville offices produced many single family homes; medical offices in Hyannis; the Franklin Park Zoo/Peabody / Circle, and numerous housing complexes in the Boston region. His Worcester Public Market/ Kelley Sq. Housing and Retail building opened in the Canal District in February 2020 and exemplified his long- standing philosophies of live-work and creating meaningful gathering spaces for community and commerce. Phil was a faculty member of the Boston Architectural College, as well as an active member of the Practice Committee since 1972. His teaching covered a wide variety of courses for both architecture and landscape school curricula. He enjoyed being active financial supporter of two BAC Solar Decathlon teams, first paired with MIT and the second with Tufts Engineering. This spurred the founding of the Earthos-Institute, Inc., a nonprofit to better model and enable collaboration between designers and science through practice joint research and intern training. Since its founding in 2009, than 125 interns have worked with Earthos and received this training. Phil is survived by his landscape architect wife Pat who founded the BAC's Landscape Architecture School in 2005, by son MJ (Matthew John) a tv producer in South Pasadena, and daughter Kristin Gail, a BAC M. Architecture alumna in Toluca Lake, CA, and his grand-twins Dominik and Scarlett, 8th graders from Pasadena, CA. His siblings Candace Loheed of San Francisco, Rick Loheed of Valley Lee, MD, and Shelley Loheed of Groton, MA and their respective spouses will all miss Phil as an iconic older brother. In-laws John Schroeder of Peabody, Vicki Chandler of Raleigh, NC, and Tom Schroeder of Apex, NC and their spouses will miss his holiday monologues, love of meaty meals. All will miss the great holiday gatherings centered around design and architecture ( with more than 7 architects over three generations in three branches of the family). Phil had 54 first cousins and he rejoiced in the epiphanies, travels, and educations of not just his children, but of all the nieces, nephews, and step relatives originating from his Mom Phyllis's marriage to Leo Schettino in New Canaan, CT. A small family graveside interment is planned at Lincoln Cemetery.
