Thomas S. Marvel

Thomas S. Marvel (1935–2015) was an American architect.[1]

Life

Born on March 15, 1935, in Newburgh, New York, Marvel grew up in Washingtonville.[2][3] He earned a bachelor's degree from Dartmouth College in 1956 and attended the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University.[2][3] In 1958, he left Harvard to work with R. Buckminster Fuller, his uncle by marriage.[4] After working on housing projects in Iran and Puerto Rico, Marvel returned to Harvard and completed his master's degree in architecture in 1962.[2][3]

Marvel moved to Puerto Rico in 1959 after a three-month assignment with the International Basic Economy Corporation, a company established by Nelson A. Rockefeller to develop low-cost housing in developing countries.[2][3] He utilized local materials, such as cement from local limestone, and designed buildings suited to the tropical environment.[2][5] His architectural approach included natural ventilation, natural lighting, and the incorporation of gardens.[2]
