In the private sector, Mr. Luebke’s professional focus was as a designer on institutional, commercial, and high-rise projects for such firms as SOM, Hartman-Cox, and Leo A Daly, where he led the design for the 45-story First National Tower in Omaha, Nebraska, completed in 2002 and winner of an AIA honor award for design in 2004.

Carroll William Westfall
Prof. Carroll William Westfall’s undergraduate training at the University of California was followed by completion of a Master's degree at the University of Manchester (thesis topic: "The Greek Revival Movement in Italian Architecture: 1750”) and a Ph.D. at Columbia University (1967 dissertation: "The Two Ideal Cities in the Early Renaissance: Republic and Ducal Thought in Quattrocento Architectural Treatises"). His initial work led to numerous articles and a book, In This Most Perfect Paradise (Penn State University Press, 1974), a study of Renaissance Rome.
His more recent studies of the relationship between the history, theory, and practice of architecture are found in his contribution to the 1991 book Architectural Principles in the Age of Historicism (Yale University Press), written with Robert Jan van Pelt. He became Notre Dame’s Frank Montana Professor and Chairman of the School of Architecture in 1998, and before that taught at Amherst College, the University of Illinois in Chicago, and, since 1982, at the University of Virginia.
A central theme of all of his studies has been the history of the city with particular attention to the reciprocity between the political life and the urban and architectural elements that serve the needs of citizens. His emphasis is on the usefulness of knowledge of history to practicing architects. His current interests are concentrated on the architects’ capacity to nourish the Christian faith and on tradition and classicism in architecture and the American city with special attention to the role of Thomas Jefferson in founding a distinctive American architecture to serve a unique nation.
Familiarly known as Bill, Prof. Westfall was born in Fresno, California on December 23, 1937. Married since 1982 to Relling Rossi Westfall, they have two sons. He maintains his membership at Saint Thomas Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia.
