Ehrman B. Mitchell Jr. Ar’48, Philadelphia, a retired architect and co-founder of the architectural firm Mitchell/Giurgola (now MGA Partners); Jan. 18. In 1958 he and partner Romaldo Giurgola founded their firm, which became a leading member of what became known as the Philadelphia School. With Giurgola as the design talent, “‘Mitch’ was the constructor,” said Alan Greenberger, who joined the firm in 1974 and is now a partner with its successor, MGA Partners. “He was the one who took an image on a piece of paper and gave it life.” The firm’s first big success occurred in 1960, with the design of a visitor center for the Wright Brothers National Memorial on the North Carolina coast. Two years later they produced a two-window wide addition to the Philadelphia Life Insurance Co. “Although the original portion features a columned classical façade, the addition is as flat and geometric as a Mondrian painting. Yet they harmonize perfectly,” said architectural critic Inga Saffron in The Philadelphia Inquirer. This mix of modern design and urban values helped the firm gain an international reputation and win commissions, including the Penn Mutual Tower, the United Way headquarters, and the 1976 Liberty Bell Pavilion. In 1972 his complaints about Philadelphia’s “pay to play” culture, with architects and engineers required to hand over five percent of their fees on government projects to Democratic party bosses, led to a grand-jury investigation. Known for his high principles, he and Giurgola withdrew from a coveted commission to design the AIA’s headquarters in Washington to protest intrusive design revisions. He was elected national president of the American Institute of Architects in 1979.
