Anthony Joseph (Tony) Atkin
Santa Fe, NM
Our beloved brother, Anthony Joseph (Tony) Atkin, died of cancer on May 21, 2015 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He was 64 years old. Tony was born June 18, 1950 in St. George, Utah. He was the fifth of six children and the only son of Anthony W. and Nina Gubler Atkin. Tony spent much of his childhood working with his father on the family's cattle ranch located on the Arizona Strip.
Tony had a brilliant and creative mind. He graduated from Dixie High school in 1967 and attended Dixie College before transferring to the University of Utah where he received his BA in Anthropology in 1971. He moved east to attend the University of Pennsylvania where he excelled in his chosen field of Architecture. After receiving his Masters degree in 1974, He stayed in Philadelphia where he became founding partner of Atkin Olshin Schade Architects and also taught in the University of Pennsylvania Graduate Architecture program for more than 30 years. His summer programs in Japan and China were exceptional highlights of the curriculum and much loved and remembered by participating students.
His love of the western landscape eventually drew him to Santa Fe, NM where he opened a second office for his firm. He had a passion for helping his clients find fulfillment and joy in the spaces he designed for them. His projects ranged geographically from an eco-hotel in China to academic buildings in New England and the Southwest. Many of these projects won significant awards for design and preservation efforts, including Progressive Architecture citations, Architecture Magazine awards, numerous awards from the AIA including two silver medals and recent national awards from the American Planning Association and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. His firm's most significant projects include buildings at the University of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth College, the Rhode Island school of Design, and numerous houses of worship across the country.
Tony stayed in contact with his large extended family and returned yearly to his roots to attend the family reunion at the Terry Farm in Enterprise. He was greatly loved and will be missed by all who knew him.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his spouse, Tom Pederson. He is survived by his five sisters who were so proud of him: Linda Lytle, Ilona Terry (Fenton), Barbara Atkin, Alice Steel (Virgil) Ester West (Lester) and many nieces and nephews.
As per Tony's request, no funeral will be held.
