Daily News | John K. Rauch, celebrated architect and cofounder of Venturi & Rauch, has died at 91
John K. Rauch, 91, of Philadelphia, retired award-winning architect, cofounder and managing partner of the Venturi & Rauch architectural firm, and painter, died Tuesday, Aug. 16, of end-stage dementia at Brandywine Hall in West Chester.
A gregarious role model to younger colleagues and known for “his masterful grasp of the totality of architecture,” Mr. Rauch helped the firm gain hundreds of contracts for celebrated institutional designs in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. With Venturi and his wife, Denise Scott Brown, creating many of the designs and Rauch overseeing day-to-day operations, the firm grew from fewer than 50 employees and billings of $2.
Through its closure in 2012, the firm, later called Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates Inc., received nearly 100 awards for its designs, including the 1983 Firm Award from the American Institute of Architects. Mr. Rauch resigned after differences surfaced among the partners but remained as a consultant in 1988 and 1989.
After his retirement, Mr. Rauch painted often, especially landscapes. He earned a certificate from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2001, and his work was shown at the Artists’ House Gallery and elsewhere.
