| Architect, born in Dublin, Ireland. Trained at the National University of Ireland, he joined Eero Saarinen (1950) soon after emigrating to the USA. After Saarinen's death, Roche completed his projects with his associate John Dinkeloo, with whom he then formed a partnership (1966) specializing in civic and corporate buildings. Characterized by stark sculptural forms, his work includes the Oakland Museum, Oakland, CA (1961–8) and the Jewish Museum, New York (1985). He was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1982. |
