Rod Garrett, design director of the Washington, D.C., office ofSkidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP, died suddenly on June 27 while in Chicago, attending the American Institute of Architects convention. Garrett would have turned 54 on Aug. 7.
Garrett, who joined SOM in 1986, focused on public and institutional projects and was considered an expert in the public agency and review process.
索姆纽约市和华盛顿特区办事处的董事总经理马克·雷金斯基（Mark Regulinski）说：“他被认可了。”他补充说：“他根据自己的专业知识获得了AIA奖学金的名称。”

加勒特（Garrett）于1983年获得建筑学士学位，并于1985年获得建筑学硕士学位，这是俄克拉荷马州立大学（Oklahoma State University）。他还是华盛顿特区，纽约州和弗吉尼亚州的注册专业工程师。除去年成为AIA研究员外，Garrett还是国家建筑登记委员会和城市土地研究所的成员。
At the time of his death, Garrett was working on the International Monetary Fund HQ1 Renewal in Washington, D.C. Estimated completion for the 1.9-million-sq-ft project is 2016. IMF rented a bus to get people to his memorial service, says Regulinski, which was attended by 400 people. "It says a lot about how attractive a person was," he adds.
Another current project of Garrett's is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Headquarters, a renovation of a 1970s-era seven-story, 350,000-sq-ft building adjacent to the White House complex. Completion is set for 2016, as well.
Regulinski说：“ Rod将采用高度功能的功能，但不受欢迎的建筑类型，并使它们与众不同。”
He is survived by his wife, Rachel, and their two teenage sons, Benjamin and Nathaniel.
