Biography

Early life

Albert Carey Martin Jr. was born on August 3, 1913, in Los Angeles, California. He graduated from the USC School of Architecture.

Career

He started his career at his father's firm in 1936 along with his brother, J. Edward Martin (October 23, 1916 – November 22, 2004), a structural engineer who assumed management of the firm after World War II.[1]

His firm designed the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Building. Martin used various styles from a "Rationalist International language" to more Expressionist designs.[1] He and his brother slowly turned over control of the firm to Albert's son, David C. Martin (born October 7, 1942), and Edward's son, Christopher C. Martin (born June 19, 1950), between 1984 and 1990.[1]

According to the Los Angeles Times, the firm was credited for "more than 50 percent of all the major buildings erected in Downtown Los Angeles since World War II."[2]

He was a fellow of the American Institute of Architects and was chosen by the USC School of Architecture as its distinguished alumnus of 1990. He was a sailing enthusiast and raced at least five times in the trans-Pacific to Hawaii competition.[2]

Death

He died on March 30, 2006, in San Luis Obispo, California.
