BART PRINCE (1947-)
Prince was born in New Mexico and graduated from Highland HS and later Arizona State University. He opened his own practice in Albuquerque in 1973. He counts Frank Lloyd Wright, Antoni Gaudi, and Bruce Goff as his architectural inspirations. He was a former student and assistant to Goff and was associate architect on the Pavilion for Japanese Art in Los Angeles County Museum of Art from 1978 to 1988. He taught at UNC-Charlotte as a visiting professor, at one time with John Lautner. Prince's great-grandfather was L. Bradford Prince, Governor of the New Mexico Territory from 1889 to 1893.
