We are saddened to announce the passing of Arthur Lubetz on July 4, 2025. His architecture made an indelible impact on the city of Pittsburgh over the course of a decades long career, first under Lubetz Associates and then later as Front Studio Architects. From the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill branch to the Glass Lofts in Garfield, and most recently The Eddy Apartments in Harrison, NJ, his passion for making memorable architecture and encouraging his students to do the same, will not be forgotten. The impact of his spirit remains vibrant in the buildings he designed and the people he touched through his architecture.

A memorial service will be held in Pittsburgh in the fall.
