 | | Mockbee eschews the humble title of teacher, even though he is a full professor at Auburn University's School of Architecture, Design and Construction and has been a visiting professor at Harvard, Yale, Berkeley, and a half-dozen other architecture schools. |
 | | He insists he's no artist, either, despite the fact that he is an accomplished painter and draftsman with a one-man show ("Samuel Mockbee: The Architecture of the Black Warrior River," September 9 through October 21) at the Max Protetch Gallery in New York. |
 | | But he feels comfortable with people calling him an architect, and not because he was the only one represented twice at this summer's Cooper-Hewitt/Smithsonian Institution National Design Triennial, or because he received the National Building Museum's Apgar Award for Excellence in 1999, Record Houses Awards in 1997 and 1992, and several honor awards. |
