Biography
(Scroll to Top)Neil LaMonte Astle was born on June 14th, 1933 in Salt Lake City, Utah to parents Ann Stam and Lehi Sam Astle.14 Mr. Astle attended Granite High School and graduated in 1951. Throughout his high school years, Mr. Astle was an all-star athlete in basketball and baseball. After his graduation, he continued on to his undergraduate studies to the University of Utah on a basketball scholarship. At the University, Mr. Astle pursued his studies while also simultaneously continuing his forays into sports and in 1955, Mr. Astle received his Bachelor of Arts degree. Although he was originally interested in architecture, he pursued engineering instead because his basketball team practices did not coincide with many of the architecture classes.15 So eventually, Mr. Astle gave up his scholarship and basketball pursuits in order to follow his other dream of studying architecture, to which he received his Bachelor of Arts in Architecture in 1958. Mr. Astle furthered his education by earning his master’s degree in Architecture from Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he also received a scholarship. During his studies, Mr. Astle focused on the human and social environment and produced a thesis titled, “Effect of the Environment on Mental Health.”16 Included in his thesis were plans for Utah’s mental-health needs and the design for a therapeutic community.17 He strongly believed that patients needed both a “sense of freedom and a private, personal space in which to make choices and define for themselves a place in society.”18 Mr. Astle graduated from M.I.T. in 1959. From this point on, as seen in his thesis work, Mr. Astle would take with him into his career and into entirely all of his future designs this notion that whoever inhabited the buildings and how they would use the space within would influence the structure he would design. After graduation and before tackling his career head-on, Mr. Astle had a brief stint with the Air Force in the Strategic Air Command civil engineering directorate.19
After receiving his master’s degree and at the start of his career, Mr. Astle held a number of academic and teaching positions around the country, while also maintaining his private practice in architecture. In 1963 until 1964, he was an assistant professor at the Rhode Island School of Design located in Providence, Rhode Island. While in Rhode Island, he became a member of the Rhode Island AIA. In 1964, Mr. Astle moved to Nebraska where he became a visiting professor, lecturer and critic in the college of Architecture at the University of Nebraska, in Lincoln, Nebraska from 1964 until about 1973.20 At the university, he also became the originator and director of the Urban Programs from 1973-1976. This program “significantly contributed to the handicapped and minority communities.”21 Again at the University of Nebraska, he became the graduate class design professor in 1979. 22 In 1965, Mr. Astle established his own firm, Astle & Associates, Inc. While working in Nebraska, Mr. Astle met Ronald G. Ericson who joined the firm in 1972. Mr. Astle changed the name of the firm to Astle/Ericson & Associates in 1978.23 In Mr. Astle’s resume, he noted the firm’s architectural philosophy and services as follows:
“Architecture, we believe, is a rational, objective process that identifies a project’s unique needs, balances its often conflicting demands, creates an order that responds to its special conditions, and enables that order to take physical form. Our experiences has convinced us – and our clients – that this process is best served when our principals are personally involved throughout the project, when the client is an integral members of the design team, and when our staff is limited to a relatively small number of experienced professional architects and planners.”24
Mr. Astle took the idea of being personally involved with many of his projects quite literally. When Astle/Ericson & Associates were working on the Benedictine Monastery, both Mr. Astle and Mr. Ericson lived in the monastic dorms alongside the monks throughout the duration of the project. During the Student Services Building at the University of Utah, Mr. Astle and his team “moved in” on campus for over a year.25 In an article by Patricia Maryon Hadley in A Guide to Worthwhile Leisure, Mr. Astle stated about his firm’s work that, “We don’t consciously build buildings. It’s more like putting sticks and stones around what people are doing. What I want is to establish an environment for the patterns of interaction going on.”26 Astle/Ericson & Associates “established environments” for several different purposes like mental-health facilities, museums, shopping centers, monasteries, low-income housing and college campuses.27 Before working on the design for the Student Services Building at the University of Utah, Mr. Astle interviewed the clerks, secretaries, counselors, janitors and students who would use the building, and then he carefully documented their use patterns.28 This fully ensured that he was designing a building that catered to their particular uses. In addition to design, the firm also provided programming, planning, complete architectural services, interiors and furnishings, and graphic design. Their projects ranged in construction costs from about $50,000 with some buildings estimating to almost $40 million dollars.29
In 1981, Mr. Astle then transferred from the Nebraska Chapter of the AIA to the Utah Chapter upon his move back to Salt Lake City in 1979.30 He subsequently moved the firm of Astle/Ericson & Associates to Utah as well. Although Mr. Ericson did not relocate to Salt Lake City, Mr. Astle continued to operate his firm under the name of Astle/Ericson & Associates, and moved into an office space at Rio Grande. In Salt Lake City, Mr. Astle held a two-day seminar titled, “Design as a Process,” at the University of Utah Graduate School of Architecture in the winter of 1982.31 In addition to his many successes by this point, in 1983 Mr. Astle received the Fellowship with the American Institute of Architects (FAIA). These long-term positions were followed with several traveling positions: Mr. Astle was a visiting speaker back at the University of Nebraska in 1984, a guest jurist for a meeting on Omaha Redevelopment at both Kansas University and the University of Nebraska in 1985, a visiting speaker in Urban Planning at Arizona State University in 1985, and then a guest lecturer back in Salt Lake City at Salt Lake Community College in winter of 1987.32
Astle/Ericson & Associates won several awards and were renowned for many of their designs. Some of those designs include, but are not limited to, the 1986 Student Services Building expansion at the University of Utah, the 1975 Urban Renewal Midlands Mall, the 1979 Benedictine Monastery and the 1991 Guest House, the 1980 Bertrand Museum/DeSoto Wildlife Refuge Visitors’ Center, the 1991 Danish Immigrant Museum (now known as the Museum of Danish America), and the 1990 Wheeler Farm Activity Barn. For the Student Center expansion at the University of Utah, the Dean of the University, Tom Hover, sent a letter of thanks directly to Mr. Astle. He wrote, “I would be very remiss if I didn’t express to you, Barry [Smith], and Brent [last name?] the wonderful feeling I have toward the Student Center Expansion. It is a pleasure to show people through this beautiful addition. The various functions and spaces work together in a way, which makes the entire facility very usable and flexible. I truly could not have asked for anything more. Just as important, there has [sic] been the cooperative and supportive efforts you, Barry, and Brent have given me and others on campus through the entire project. Truly I can say your efforts have paid in many positive returns. You know it is hard for me to express my full appreciation except to let you know you do have my undying gratitude.”33 Mr. Astle and his firms’ designs were so renowned that when Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona was interested in constructing their own Student Services Building, they contacted the Astle/Ericson & Associates in order for the firm to work alongside Arizona State University’s administration and the component departments so as to “define the needs of the new Arizona State Student Services Building.”34 Arizona State University conducted a series of interviews, a review of standards and practices at similar institutions and Astle/Ericson & Associates completed design development for the facility. Additionally, Mr. Astle was involved in a number of library expansion designs as well, some of which include the library at Rosslyn Heights Elementary35 and the library at the Rio Grande, both in Salt Lake City. Mr. Astle was also involved in designs for additional administrative space to be added at the Hill Air Force Base in Ogden, Utah.36
While Mr. Astle designed several homes and institutional buildings, it was said of him that he did not operate in just one “style.” Rather, his style grew organically depending on each of his projects and definitely depended on the purpose of the building and habits of those that would reside within. It was said of Mr. Astle that if a client was “looking for a Tudor home or a postmodern office building, Astle would not have been a good fit because he didn’t work in any ‘style.’”37 Mr. Astle was not interested in creating monuments; rather he designed structures that were based on human needs.38 Mr. Astle described in his own architectural philosophy indicated on his services handbook that, “Whatever the nature of your project, you can be assured that you will be included as an integral member of our team and that our efforts will be tailored to respond to your needs, priorities, schedule, and budget.”39 All in all, Mr. Astle aspired for his designs to be functional for human activity and not just works of art. Mr. Astle’s style of design really grew out of the integration of the needs and wants of his clients combined with the design and functionality of a building. He felt that he had to take all of those things into account, especially by including his clients in the design process, in order to design a successful and well-designed structure, and not just some work of art that may or may not fit the basic needs and activities of those that would use it often.
On December 15th, 1997, Mr. Astle in conjunction with Kenneth Pollard, AIA; Kari Astle (Mr. Astle’s daughter); Rex Astle (Mr. Astle’s son); and a number of other team members involved in design, structural, mechanical and electrical, presented to Utah State University Campus Planning & Engineering and the American West Heritage Center Board. Their presentation was titled, “To Perform Programming, Master Planning and Design Services.” A handout, which accompanied the teams’ presentation, describes their approach to architecture as follows:
“Every building and place form has a vitality of it’s [sic] own, even those destined for the most conventional and predictable uses. This is all the more true when its purpose is culture, a material that is hard to define and capable of infinite possible developments… We are designers that fuse buildings with landscape in a holistic way through a level of Craftsmanship. Craftsmanship is a key issue. Together, with the American West Heritage Board and Utah State University, we believe we can create a vital human habitat that artfully expresses the condition of its time and place respecting tradition and the dreams of its people.”40
This quote nicely encapsulates Mr. Astle’s career and approach to architecture.
In 1999, Mr. Astle was the first person to receive Utah’s Lifetime Achievement Award, which is “the highest award given to a retired architect, who during his years of practice and service to the community has contributed a body of high quality work that has left a lasting legacy and a positive impact upon those who use it.”41 On March 13th, 2000, Neil LaMonte Astle passed away in Salt Lake City.
