Biographical Note

Born in 1917 in Sand Spring, Oklahoma, Architect Tallie Maule practiced in Tennessee, Okinawa, and San Francisco from the early 1950s into the mid-1970s. He earned an M.B. degree at Oklahoma State University and served with the United States Navy as a Line Officer in the U.S. Amphibious Forces during WWII from 1943 until 1946. Maule earned his M.F.A. in architecture at Princeton University (1948) where he was a Lowell Palmer Fellow. During his studies at Princeton, before completing his degree, Maule taught architecture for one year at Oklahoma State University (1947- 1948). As a result of his time teaching, Maule conceptualized an Architectural Laboratory, as place "To develop visual sensibility, to correlate seeing, feeling and thinking, to provide means to manipulate space, form, light and color through DIRECT EXPERIENCE." This Architectural Laboratory was realized at Princeton University, three years later, as a space where students could construct their designs.

Tallie earned a diploma as a fellow of the American Academy in Rome as well as the University per Strainieri in Perugia, Italy where he did research from 1951-1952 on a Fulbright scholarship. Maule worked as an Associate for the firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) from 1947 through 1955 in New York; Chicago; Oak Ridge, TN; Tokyo, Japan; and San Francisco successively. While at SOM, Maule designed a number of projects in Oak Ridge, Tennessee including the Community Theater, High School, and a Garden Apartment Unit. During 1950, he served as a member of the Planning Commission of Oak Ridge, Tenn. After leaving SOM he spent nearly four years in Japan and Okinawa. In Japan, he developed pilot designs for the vast post war building program which encompassed community planning, transportation, housing, medical facilities, and schools. Two years were spent in Okinawa working on a 250 million dollar project, where he was in charge of master planning and architectural and engineering design for housing, schools, governmental, and commercial and community facilities. After SOM, Maule worked for John Carl Warnecke as a coordinator before opening his own practice.

Maule established his own practice in San Francisco (1957-1974). White running his firm, Maule secured a position as Chief Architect of design coordination for the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Agency from 1966 through 1973 as well as consulting architect to the Metropolitan Atlantic Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) and the Sao Paolo, Brazil, Metro. Notable projects from this time include: Sunnyvale Office Center (1963), United California Bank (1966), Palo Alto Office Center (1966), Banco Do Brasil (1973), and the Embarcadero and West Portal BART stations. Maule died in 1974 in San Francisco.
