Robert Mangurian, who in the 1970s joined a wave of young Los Angeles designers in rebelling against the architectural mainstream, died last week at 82.

Beyond his architectural works, many of which he designed with his partner and wife Mary-Ann Ray at Studio Works Architects, Mangurian made a significant impact through his teaching, both at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) and at B.A.S.E., an experimental school-cum-design studio that he and Ray founded in Beijing in 2012.
