Founder and former president of Todd Lee, Clark, Rozas (TLCR), Todd Lee, FAIA passed away on May 13, 2025, in Springfield, Massachusetts. Elected to the AIA College of Fellows in 1991, he remained an active, generous member of the BSA for decades.

Todd shaped civic life through architecture that was both expressive and humane. He trained under Louis Kahn at the height of the “Brutalist” architecture movement, but Todd’s designs evolved over the course of his career, bending toward increasingly playful, colorful, and communicative forms. Todd co-founded Light Boston in 1996, serving on its board until his death. The Light Boston foundation awarded him a lifetime achievement award in 2024.

A beloved husband, father, and friend, his legacy lives on in the places—and people—he helped illuminate. He will be deeply missed.
